I just read my last post and 1. I can't believe it was a month ago and 2. I don't even remember having a cold...I must be getting old.
So my blog has suffered because I am addicted to Facebook - UGH!!
The funny thing about writing this is and I am dead serious - the only person who reads this is Shelley and she knows what is going on in my life already. Maybe if I updated more then I would get more readers....
Hospital Stay.... We just spent 6 days in the hospital with Isabella and a bacteria infection in her hip. I'm glad to report she is feeling much better, we go back to Children's hospital today and have her blood work done and see the orthopedic. She was a very sick little girl and it was scary. I was so calm through the whole thing, and I must say it was GOD...I could feel the prayers around me and I had a peace about me that I have never experienced in that type of situation. Typically I would have had her diagnosed with cancer or something. We had unbelievable care at the hospital, the nurses were fantastic. The dr's looked like Doogie Houser - they were so young (again I must be getting old). We have no idea how she got it since she didn't have a cold recently or an open cut that got infected.
Isabella was so awesome through the entire ordeal, she did not cry one time and she was in alot of pain. She said "this is an experience I can talk about"...I drew some of my strength from her.
I did not take 1 picture while I was there and for that I am a bad mom - part of the reason was the camera was packed in the camper, since when this happened we were going on vacation. Mike and Soren actually had already left, so Mike had to come home. Soren stayed with the Esterholts (thanks guys) and then the Wales family arrived so he stayed with them. I missed him way too much.
We had alot of visitors at the hospital which made us feel very special. My church is making us dinners, which is a huge blessing and my favorite thing is - my friend Penny paid to have my house cleaned...that was the most amazing gift and I give thanks to all my friends and family.
Thanks for all the prayers!
