Well, one year ago at this moment I was attempting to get ready for bed hoping for a little sleep. But, it wasn't going so well seeing as how I was in labor! So it wasn't long and we were in the road making a mad dash for the hospital for Cornbread's arrival. I'll share the story after I tell you about LadyBug's birth.
Ironic as it seems, today also held a mad dash for medical attention. The day started out as normal as could be. With The GuitarMan coming home there were some things I wanted to have ready. Tomorrow is the birthday party and fish fry at church so there were some things to attend to there as well. I had all the sheets in the wash, dishwasher halfway loaded, homeschooling started.
As FlowerChild was doing her reading aloud she began to complain with an earache. By the time we had begun phonics (only a few minutes later) she started to cry a little and whimper. So schoolwork was set aside and I gave her some medicine. I have one of those little teddy bears that has the heatable pouch inside so I got that heated up for her to put on the ear. Nothing helped. If anything, the pain began to get worse. She began to really cry. So I called the doctor and they said bring her on in even though they had no available appointments. She cried most of the way to the big city. It "just so happened" (thank you, Lord!) that Nurse K that works with our favorite doctor in this group was in the front receptionist area when we signed in. She took one look and asked what was wrong. Immediately she told the front to pull the file and send her on back. (Like I said, thank you Lord!) She has a double ear infection! So he gave her an antibiotic and something for pain. I was amazed at how quickly it set in and there was no fever. It came on because of this cold/allergy thing we've all battled recently. Literally she was fine one minute and in awful pain the next. But I am so glad our usual doctor was able to see her and just hopefully this medicine will help. After all, she has a party to throw tomorrow! And she is as excited as if it were her own!
So that is what my day consisted of. There have been so many trials this week, even this day for that matter, that I haven't mentioned here. But God has been so good to shine through it! For everything that has gone wrong I can honestly say it could have and would have been worse except for His hand. Praise Him through everything!
