So today T was cleared by his eye doctor from the injury he got while in PICU. He had gotten some of the paste from an EEG they did in his eye during one of his combative moments and it gave him a chemical burn. Today they said it was completely healed🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼!
We also have been dealing with an issue with a lump in his arm that also happened at the hospital. Over the past couple of days it turned into two lumps so we had his MD check him out. She asked T some questions and she knew immediately the condition he had and how he got it and said it would heal but it could take a month for it to heal completely. It happened from an IV he had in his left hand that they tried to give him meds through that was sluggish. When they tried to put meds through it it burned T really bad. That caused the condition he’s dealing with. The lumps are because the vein got burned by the meds and it’s now trying to heal from it. She told me the medical term for it but it’s something I can’t spell or pronounce…LOL! The reason she knew with such certainty exactly what it was is because she’s had it happen to herself before. She said, “It’s very painful.” I knew that already because all T has done is complain about it since he came home. Nothing can be done for it. It eventually fixes itself and until then he can take ibuprofen for the pain. Yet again, God put the right doctor in the right place to know exactly what was going on with our son. Praise God!
Through it all this kid has been a trooper. I’m just so very thankful for the happy ending to all that he went through.
And tonight I saw several posts from friends about another family who was dealing with a medical situation with their young son who lost him. My heart and prayers go out to this family. I don’t know them personally but my heart goes out to them. May God give them uncommon strength and comfort in the days, weeks, and months ahead as they deal with this loss.
It’s not easy losing someone we love even when we know that they are in heaven with Jesus. Even though we know we will see them again one day. We still mourn because we miss them in the here and now. We especially mourn when it’s a kid becasue we never had a chance to see them grow up and have a life and family of their own. We mourn for the missed moments that never got to happen. We take comfort in knowing they are with Jesus though. In all the pain of loss we have a comfort that passes all understanding. May that comfort envelope this family!
Almost two weeks ago we could’ve lost T but we didn’t. We prayed for him and had prayer warriors praying for him as well. All I can say is, “But God…!” God knows our beginning and our end. He knows every hair on our head. He knows the number of days we will be on this earth. I trust His timing in every area of my life and I’m ever so thankful for all the moments I get to have with those I love. I’m always cherishing the moments! I pray you all do the same. Don’t let a day go by where you are not cherishing the time you have with your family and friends. We never know when our last moment with them will be.

Took this of T and me a day or so after his release from the hospital.
They were having a stare down while playing cards…LOL! They keep me laughing that’s for sure.
