Update on Sickness

Well, I know things seemed in the clear with Sterling, and I still think everything is okay, but starting a few days ago Sterling's hands began to peel really badly. I put three pictures on, I don't know how much you will be able to tell from them, but it is really weird looking for his hands to be completely peeling away like this. I know peeling skin isn't a big deal, but the reason it concerns me a little is that this, along with diarrhea and/or vomiting is the 2nd stage of Kawasaki Disease, which is what I originally thought Sterling had because of all his symptoms. He is acting fine now, except for the peeling hands and he does have diarrhea. So I know he's getting over it and is strong, but I can't help but think he really did have Kawasaki Disease and there is only one reason that he got better so quickly- all of your prayers. This disease can be serious and can cause long term problems, but Sterling is obviously not having those kind of problems. We asked everyone to pray for us on Sunday night for us, which was Sunday morning for you all. By Monday morning when we took Sterling to the Dr., his fever was gone and he was getting back to his normal energetic self. I truly believe the Lord healed Sterling because of your prayers! Thank you very much for so faithfully praying for us as we're here in Japan- mostly unable to communicate with doctors and unable to find health care as good as what we have in America. Your prayers are carrying us through!
