again…

once again, a request for prayer.
mom and dad just took Gracie to the hospital.
she got fussy again yesterday, and had a really rough night.
we’ve noticed that she doesn’t like to turn her head much
and mom said today she turns her whole body to look at someone.
since a stiff neck can often be a symptom of meningitis mom really doesn’t want to take any chances.
so they’re headed to Texas Children’s. 
they woke me up from a nap to tell me and the emotions hit so hard so fast.
i couldn’t even say goodbye to her when
they put her in the car because i didn’t want to upset her.
in a way i’m less upset about her being seriously ill than i am about her having to go through a hospital stay.
silly. i somehow believe that God is sovereign over the health of her body but not over the decisions being made?
if God’s sovereign He’s sovereign.  end of story.
i need to act like i believe what i say i do.
i need to trust.
some time in prayer since they left has calmed me
and a call from my aunt has encouraged me to stay positive and to fight against the sin of worry.
but it’s not over yet and i need the strength to do whatever is necessary for the rest of the family.
pray, friends.  please, please pray for all of us.

  1. We’ll be praying, Hon.  There are a number of things that can cause a stiff neck, and meningitis has some specific other symptoms, which you have not mentioned here, so that’s a good sign.  You’re right, God is there for you all, whether or not she has to be admitted.  I’ll be praying for her restoration, and for your comfort.  God understands your worry.  He doesn’t condemn you for it, but encourages you in it.  Hugs, Penny…
