Jackson Blog -- ON HOLD

In case anyone was wondering what happened to our blog, to sum it up, February has been a rough month for the Jacksons. It started off great with Isaac's kiddie "Cars" party, but shortly after a nasty virus entered our home and since then life has been somewhat on hold. (We have some pictures that we'll eventually get up in the future). We were driving up to PA for Isaac's Jackson family birthday party when he threw up in the car. I'll keep details aside, but the short story is that for 7 DAYS after that he continued to throw up and lie around like a sick pup. Two days after he was back to normal, Lindy started, and again, the short story, here Lindy and I sit in the hospital. We have been here since Friday morning (it is now Saturday afternoon) and things are starting to look up. Hopefully she returns home tomorrow and we can get our lives back on track. THANK YOU to all who've been praying for us. The Lord is answering your prayers as her pain is subsiding. Now she just needs to hold some food down without getting sick and experiencing severe stomach pains. Please continue to pray for us. It is really hard for Lindy to be away from the kids like this. Neither of us have had much sleep since Thursday night, so please pray that we both get some sleep, especially Lindy. The kids are doing great. A combination of Mom Jackson, Sarah Johnston, Mom and Dad Patton along with Aunt Ellie and Mia have done a great job caring for Isaac and Abigail while we've been back and forth to the hospital. It is a blessing to have family and friends who drop everything to serve you when trials like this hit.

Thanks for your prayers, please keep them coming. We'll be back soon Lord willing.
