Is it Friday? I thought it was Tuesday! Lol! Halle has been sick all week and Luke has been sick since yesterday. Halle has been up and down all week. Today I took her to the doctor. She has had a fever on and off all week and has also had a persistent cough. Her lungs sounded good but her O2 saturations were low. We are going back tomorrow to have her O2 checked. If she has a fever and/or her O2 sats are still low she will have blood work done and maybe an x-ray. Dr. Tobey gave her Arbuterol to relax the muscles in the airway and increase air flow in the lungs. She is pitiful. Today was her 1st sick visit to the doctor since she was at least 2. We aren't use to seeing her sick, especially for this long. My mom is coming up tomorrow! Hallelujah!
I do not handle the kids being sick very gracefully. I resort to state of panic and become like a noodle. I personally struggle with fear, fear of what lies ahead, fear of one of the kids becoming ill. I quickly have to regain perspective.....my eternal perspective. Remind myself our suffering is limited to this earth. I look back and know the Lord, my refuge, my strength, my shepherd, has never left me nor forsaken me. When Luke was hospitalized at 6 days old I was a disaster. I could not stay in the ER room. I physically could not stay on my feet. I felt helpless and weak. I pulled myself together, just as I did when Levi was born. David is my rock, our rock. He is always a rock star when I am a disaster.
Praying for strength. Praying the next few days and weeks are healthier!
