Special request

For prayers. Please pray for our family right now. We have spent MANY, MANY a sick Christmas and after just coming off of an entire night of vomiting with Dryden & Parker (and I'm not exaggerating either. I stayed up until 3:30am and then Darin got up and took over until 7:30 when he got in the shower to go to work.), I'm not sure that I can do it again. So far Darin & I have only had the other GI symptoms (aside from vomiting) and we're hopeful that Neely's troubles earlier in the week were her portion, but we only have 3 days until Scott & his family arrive. I cannot bear the thought of them traveling 11 hours each way only to arrive here and pick up some ridiculous stomach bug (which is what happened to everyone, traveling from all over the place, on both sides of our family last year!). Please just pray that this will be the end of it for us and that we will be able to clean everything well enough to prevent anyone else that will be in our home from picking it up. I know that we don't deserve any special pass through the holidays but it would just be so nice if we could have some happy and healthy time with family from farawy. It feels a little selfish to be asking for that kind of protection but we are kind of at the end of our rope with Christmases like this. And, after the year that we have had... we were so looking forward to it! Thank you so much!
