I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep writing, but the truth is I love it. Words fly around in my head as everyday life goes by. I missed putting them on cyber paper.
We've been busy, and I really want to catch up, but I can't today.
Many of you know that my sweet nephew was injured a few weeks ago in a lawn mower accident. He is only 5 years old, and lost a leg. It's been very difficult for our family to see this beautiful little guy injured. He is doing better after a tough course and about to enter the "rehab" phase of recovery.
He was in the same hospital Abby was this time last year. We are seeing the doctors, nurses, and surgeons we worked so closely with again. To say its been emotional is an understatement. I've been thankful to enter this hospital when it wasn't for one of my children, even though we would give anything for my nephew to be at home playing the way he did before. I wish I never needed to set foot in a hospital again, but that's just not how my life works.
I really think God used this awful tragedy to begin to heal some of the raw places Abby's death left. I didn't think I could ever be here again. I was sure that if Emily got sick we would need to find a different hospital. Spending 3 weeks here visiting my nephew, I thought maybe I could be here again, which is really great, because I am here.
Emily isn't super sick, but she has struggled to tolerate feeds and been vomiting for 5 days. She needed IV fluids, some tummy rest, and we should be out in a day or two. She looks better already after having some IV fluids. I am SO bummed to be back, but thankful that God prepared us some.
We are supposed to leave for vacation Tuesday, so I hope she gets out of here soon :)
Come on Em! Get better!!
