Today, only 2 days after being admitted my special girl was released from the hospital. We are trending in the right direction for these bacterial infections, we have gone from hospital stays of 2 months in 2005, to 2-1/2 weeks in 2009, to 4 days in 2010 to 2 days in 2013. We have learned what the symptoms are and how to react and are very thankful for Gods guiding hand and the support of his people. While it is disheartening to not have any real explanation this time for what my girl had, her white cell count, heart rate and temperature all suggested something more serious than a viral/flu type illness. This is by far not the first time the doctors have been stumped with my special girl.
I believe that God is faithful, both in the good and the ugly times and he has certainly been that to us. These experiences are hard for each of us in our family of 4, they bring back horrible memories and the mountain of uncertainty feels overwhelming at times. It is very challenging not to be paranoid, each time we get comfortable it feels like we have a reoccurance. Our kids have been amazing, they love their mother dearly, but show their emotions differently. One simply bawled when talking to their mommy on the phone yesterday. Despite the uncertainty and the challenges posed, it has brought us closer.
We don't know where our journey will take us over the next months, years and decades, but we do know that we have a God that is with us through all things. We know that he accepts us whether we are hurting or happy.
We value your continued prayers, for us these experiences which have impacted ever facet of our lives, have been challenging and sometimes to the point of overwhelming.
Thanks again for your support.
