Super Hero

For the past four days, we have had sickness in our house. It started with Adelyn on Wednesday. She coughed, and coughed, and coughed. Then came fever and throwing up, etc. Her diagnosis was pneumonia. Then, Ellie and I got sick on Thursday night with a stomach virus. So there were three down, and only two left standing. Thankfully, one of those was Dawson Wayne.

He is always a wonderful, caring husband and father, but in times if stress and sickness, he truly shines. He had to act as Super Dad, and as Super nurse for over 48 hours. And he did it...without complaint. Thankfully for us, he has inherited his mother's incredible bedside manner. He was so sweet, and thoughtful, and caring. He handled the whole situation with a calm gentleness and never-ending patience.

Right now, he is on the couch with the two older ones, rubbing their backs while he tells them stories. He amazes me. He is my super hero!
