sickness

There is nothing so scary in the world as your child being sick. Even something milder than cancer or a life-threatening disease (God forbid) is difficult to go through. When P was hospitalized twice last year, it was scary. Seeing your child unresponsive or lethargic and dependent on modern medicine for health is scary. Yesterday he had a sore throat and wouldn't eat. Last night he was shivering while burning with fever. He was crying out nonsensical things in his sleep. He was tossing and turning. I was up every hour with him, and the worry is so much bigger and harder during the dark night. He is such a little guy. But, God is with us. P woke up this morning with more energy, gave me a grin and ate a cookie!
