Caleb and his older brother are in Washington DC on a special work trip. Caleb has come down with something...severe abdominal pain, hours of vomiting and diarrhea, severe headache, dizziness. Condition has gotten worse. He is in route to an urgent care clinic right now. Possible food poisoning? Stomach virus? Don't know.
Wife and I are at home in Chelsea. Trusting the adult in charge of the trip to take care of him. Trusting the Lord to watch over him. Wife is panicked because she's always been there to look after her boys. I'm on pins and needles myself.
Send up some prayers if you can. Thanks!

There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world:

2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft

Sent. My son had the same symptoms when he had appendicitis a few months ago.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Sounds like food poisoning. Prayers sent.

He's at Northern VA Medical Center in Arlington, VA. 2 bags of IV fluid, shots for nausea. Ran tests and blood work. All clear. Dr. calling it a stomach flu or possibly food poisoning, ruled out an appendicitis or any other medical issue. He's going to be ok. He just called and said he already feels "way better". Sounded like a different child...alert and not in pain. Had us worried 11 hours away.
I was packing a bag to head out tonight to get him. He just texted that he's going to be fine and wants to stay...taking tomorrow off to rest and hydrate, then working last two days of the trip. Proud of that but worried he may need to really take it easy.
My boys work part time during school year and full time in the summers for a company in Columbiana that sells and installs college dorm furniture (beds, tables, desks, chairs...heavy duty stuff)...warehouse work unloading trailers and stacking pallets by hand, putting stuff together. Separate install crews outfit the dorms. Last week they had an opportunity to go out on an installation in DC at Howard University. 10 days unloading semi trailers and hauling up furniture for a dorm tower renovation project. AL project manager is a great guy, so we felt comfortable letting them go. Good money...10 , 10 hour days at $12 per hour plus overtime. We home school and this is a great education, although not academic. Boys learn a lot with hard work and sweat. We are able to be flexible with school...Trade off was double lessons for 2 weeks and do some school work over spring break too to stay on target with school work. The work has been really hard and they have been exhausted each evening...says the 8 Alabama guys are working circles around the DC union construction crew that are helping them. They get it. Great lessons learned in my book.
Thanks for the prayers!!

Glad he is going to be okay. It looks like they had an awesome opportunity, are working hard and have a good work ethic.

Glad he's better and hopefully he's back to 100% shortly.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.
