over 104

Tears slowly seep down her face as I wash Laura(3 1/2) down with cool water.

Christy (12) sings praise songs in the shower after a 5-minute cold
shower as she takes her temperature, praying it has gone down from over 105.

Jenny (10) takes her turn in the shower, as well as manning the timer
for Christy's cold showers.

Kenneth (6) bravely throws off the covers and turns on the fan, even
though he is shivering, to try and stay out of the dreaded cold shower.

***************************
Those acts of bravery took place over the longest 4 days I have had in a
long time, if ever. All 4 children with spiking fevers, and Mike out of
the country; fortunately, no two spiked at the exact same time! God was
sufficient, as Christy kept reminding me. But I sure am glad it's over!!!
