A Better Day

Today has been a good day. I spent the day with my kids and my nephew and we just had so much fun together. My son is finally feeling alot better and his little body is almost back to 100%!! That is such a relief for me. It can be so very stressful when your little one is ill and you don't know why. I am so thankful for all the doctors that have helped him. The journey to full health isn't over and won't be for probably for a year or so, but we at least have a direction and can help him feel so much better while we fix the underlying problem. I was actually able to sleep last night for the first time in over a week. This whole thing has just reminded me that even though my kids seem perfectly healthy and happy little kids, anything can happen at any moment. All it takes is one seemingly average doctor's appointment and your whole life can come to a screeching halt. I have been more patient with my kids lately and I have just appreciated the little things about them. It is a shame that it took this to make me remember what a special gift it is to have these two blessings in my life. I love them so much, and yet I allow the day to day to distract me from the beauty in their little faces. I am truly so very blessed.
