It's all about my favorite Daughter!!

Going Crazy!!!

Today is Thankful Thursday!! I'm writing this at 12:45 in the morning, because we are up putting this antibiotic in for the last time till morning. I'm VERY thankful that this schedule will change tomorrow. It was supposed to change today, but the second port in Sarah's Picc line has clotted, and we still have to do the meds one at a time until they unclot it tomorrow.

I'm so thankful that we serve a God who knows our every fear, and hears our every cry, and never leaves us comfortless when we need Him most!! Oh how He's been there for us these last few months! This has been one tough trial, but we know that with God and our great family and friends who have prayed and sought God on Sarah's behalf, we have seen miracles happen!!

Sarah has struggled with a lack of mobility and therefore independence all her life, and to be told that those limitations might increase was just devastating. I couldn't imagine her being dealt such a horrific blow after all she's already been through. God saw our pain and answered those prayers in a way only He could. He is our great physician and healer, praise His holy name!!!

I'm so thankful for a wonderful husband who worked 12 hours a day, then spent every night at the hospital. Even when I tried to get him to stay home and rest, he couldn't stay away from us. He's been my rock as usual, letting me cry on his shoulder, listening to me complain, and giving me encouragement when things got too overwhelming.

I'm also thankful that Bobby was old enough to be able to care for himself right now. He's been so good about doing what needs to be done, helping me move Sarah's (tons of) stuff from one hospital to another, feeding himself without complaining even though he is sick of fast food!!

I'm thankful for my Mom and Dad! Dad brought Mom to the hospital almost every day, and Mom stayed several times so I could go home for a little break. I'm also thankful for my Robin & David who brought Rob's Mom up almost every day. What would I do without my two Moms?????????

I'm thankful Sarah has started eating like a pig!! I had forgotten what it was like for her to actually eat something, much less finish it. The infection and the antibiotics she was on constantly took her appetite away, and it's been a long time since she felt like eating more than a bite or two at a time. Now she's wanting to eat in the middle of the night even. It's GREAT!!

It's now 1:35 a.m. and the antibiotics are done, yay!! I'll finish this after some sleep, nighty night ;-)

It's now 10:00 on Thursday morning. The six o'clock IV went fairly well until I fell asleep and put us and hour and a half behind. This is gonna take some getting used to. I set my alarm, but in my sleepy stupor, I guess I did something wrong.

I'm thankful for the 11 packages I had to ship out today. God is blessing us even in our sleep! That's what we were talking about yesterday. While I napped last night, I sold three things. How awesome is that!!

Well, I better go for now. It's time for Mom and I to work on Sarah's wound care. Thank God for Momma!! More updates later. In the meantime, enjoy the rain....or not, lol!!!
We had beautiful sunsets out of Sarah's hospital window
