Patience

It's been a long four days with Dylann being so sick. She's had so many prayers offered up for her and I know that God is listening. We just have to be patient. I've been praying the rosary several times during the day and night and I know that is helping. After so many days of seeing her miserable and in tears from the pain and from throwing up, it was such a blessing to see her SMILING and LAUGHING earlier! I'd brought a chair in to sit beside her bed and try to catch up on some sleep and she woke up and gave me this incredulous look like, "What in the world are you doing here?" I explained what I was doing and she kept giving me that look. So I popped off with something sarcastic and silly and the next thing I knew, she was just cracking herself up with things that weren't even all that funny to ME, but they were obviously hysterical to her, LOL. She ate a little bit of something and now she's in the bath, hopefully warming up those achy muscles and getting to feel a little better.

The outpouring of love and prayers were her has been overwhelming. I am so thankful that God has brought such amazing people into my life, people who are there to give me strength when things like this happen. There is nothing worse than seeing your child sick and in pain and not knowing what to do about it. I know that God is in control and that perhaps this is just a lesson in patience for Dylann and I both.
