Tonight I am writing from a hospital room. No worries…everything is going to be just fine.  My oldest son, Jack, was admitted for an infection that spread from his tooth to his face and up to his eye.  Poor baby looked like someone socked him in the face 🙁  Dr.’s wanted to be more aggressive with treatment to ensure this did not spread and his airway was not compromised.  Needless to say this was completely frightening for our family!  I was at an engagement session when I received the call from my husband that they were admitting Jack.  Talk about THE LONGEST DRIVE HOME!

So..why am I feeling blessed amidst the chaos? (oh, ps. Charlieb. was just in the ER last week with sever neck pain…yes, when it rains it pours!!)

I am feeling blessed because as soon as I knew about Jack I thought about how I could get everyone I knew to pray for my son…that is where FB comes in!  Gotta love social media!  I did not post this so people would say…oh…so sorry for you…I posted it because I believe strongly in the power of prayer and I am completely overwhelmed and grateful at the response from friends and family near and far!    We “felt” your prayers!  God has been and continues to be so good to my family and even though I completely do not deserve it, He is faithful and unwavering!   Even when life throws us curves…He is constant.  My experience with Jack was not as devastating as some families have faced and so I feel a bit silly saying how scared I was!  But, if you are a mama…you know that when it involves your own child…you can’t help but feel helpless when they can’t figure out a solution right away.  We tend to want to have a PLAN!  It is in those times that you can let fear overcome you or you can trust that God is the plan!  I chose God and I know I will never go wrong..even if that choice is harder!

So…if I am starting to ramble…it is because I am sitting on a hard couch in the hospital room and sleep deprived 😉 I am not complaining, though….Jack is by my side and we have bonded over this experience.  He is growing up and you don’t normally have 24 hrs. + with your 1o yr. old child to just laugh and talk …he is WAY TO COOL for that at home! lol  I do sneak in chats with him, but this was different. He needed me and I needed him. We prayed together and God comforted both of us.

Thank you for being understanding during this time.  Dee has been a blessing to me and I am so very thankful she has been able to answer all of my emails and keep my clients happy!  My friends have come to the hospital to bring Jack gifts or make him laugh and I appreciated caffeine and lunch!  Our parents have come,as  well, or have called and prayed!  I truly feel overwhelmed with the love that we have been shown!

Ok…honestly done rambling;)  I just want to challenge you to do one anonymous thing for someone today.  You will bless that person and God will be pleased! Oh, and Go SQUEEZE your babies !!

nighty night!

blessings,

This is so unrelated to this post as my external hard drives with pics of Jack are at home…but, here is a sample of two things I recently shot!  Have I told you my clients are fabulous??
