Our dear Denise needs our prayers. When it rains it pours..that is how things are going for her.

Denise was supposed to have her sinus surgery today. It got cancelled because the doc has the flu, so she has to think about that for another week.

Her daughter, Lexi, came up with a rash a couple of weeks ago. The rash has gotten worse and the doctor told Denise that Lexi is probably allergic to Maddie. He sent them to an allergist and in testing, she started with the dog and Lexi reacted terribly to that. Denise told the allergist that Maddie is a yorkie and hypoallergenic. The allergist said that is is most likely from the saliva...that dogs lick themselves and other things and it ends up all over the house. She said to send Maddie somewhere for 2 weeks and then see if Lexi gets better...then reintroduce Maddie and see if she gets worse. OMGosh...please pray that this doesn't turn out to be an allergy to Maddie. Maddie will be going to Denise's sister's MIL for 2 weeks.

Denise's daughter, Lauryn has been having dizzy spells. She finally found out today that it is from drinking too much gator aid and that she needs to drink water and eat some salty foods. After the doctor, Lauryn ate some salty pretzels and water and is already feeling better. Thank goodness for that!

Lastly, Maddie has been peeing on their brand new carpet without them realizing it...it soaked into the pad and smelled something awful. They now have that ripped up and have to replace carpet and pad...it's less than a year old.

Poor Denise! Please remember her in your prayers!
