Things in my little family's life has been anything but normal lately! It all started with Tucker, He was running a 103 fever one night, and nothing would take it down, so I took him in to the ER, he came home with two ear infections, strep, and a sinus infection. By the time I got his medication it was about 2 in the morning. A couple of days later, he was getting an extremely bad rash, and he was getting bumps all over, like chicken pox bumps. Took him back to the doctor, found out he was allergic to the medication, and on top of that he was indeed chicken pox! (yes he was vaccinated for them!) wasn't to bad of a case, and he seem to do really well with just a little bit of Benadryl. Finally he started to getting better day by day.
About a week or so later, I went to bed with a normal tummy ache, I've had those before.....This one didn't go away, I got up, I thought oh maybe period cramps? Can't be, and they never have been that painful! Poops cramps!? hahaha I've never had them but family members say they are terrible, I chocked it up to that. At about 11 that night I was hunched over in pain having a hard time breathing. I've always been told the Holy Ghost will not shout. But as I said a silent prayer I asked for a LOUD answer to the question of if I should go into the hospital or not, nothing ever did shout, but I just had that feeling that I really needed to go in, If I don't tomorrow there would be a lot of trouble. I'm glad I listened at 1 am After a CT scan my doctor told me he didn't think I would get into the surgical room before my Appendix burst. So at 1:30 am I was rushed into emergency surgery. While in there, I was told that they found a hernia and they fixed that also. They had to make extra holes also because the scar tissue from my c-section was causing a lot of problems. (Keloid scarring is the devil!) :) But I am grateful that everything seems to be okay!
After this all happened I got home in time to watch my husbands g-ma pass away, what a crazy experience that was. It was peaceful, not that watching somebody die is easy, but it was peaceful. She is finally out of pain, and not hunched over. I know she is in such a better place right now!
We've also been having our colds running around her lately and wishing it would go away, but time has to take it's course! Anyways!
This is the Season, (should be year round) where I am truly grateful for the life that I love, For the family that I have, for the friends, whom all make my life a peace of heaven! I'm thankful for the Gospel in my life. I'm thankful for my husband, and my beautiful children! I'm so in love with this time of the year!
