that just plain sucks...for all of you guys. I can imagine that you are getting NO sleep at your house. I hope he starts to feel better. We'll keep you guys in our prayers

Boy, you and Tamsen both had kids with lung/breathing problems! How did we get off the hook on that one?? (so far)
Poor Preston. Hope it all gets worked out.

We hope he improves quickly! We love you!

(k--was it difficult to type that way? 'cause it looks like it was probably as tedious as sitting in a doctor's office for hours...)

IM so so sorry. I was afraid I would have to take Josiah in today because he woke up with blue lips. Turned out he was just cold. I sure hope preston gets better and doesn't have any problems. Love you and WAY cute kingergarten pic.

I called you to find out how he was - glad to get this update here! Poor Preston. Is Tucker gone now? Did you shampoo the entire house and wash all the blankets/sheets/clothes so Preston can avoid that allergic reaction? I hope so!! Love you. mom
