Closing the day on a good note

Wow, what a long day.  It began with so much frustration, but we survived.  Thankfully, God lets me yell and complain at Him and He still loves me and waits until I calm down to say, once again, “I’ve got it. You don’t have to worry. I’m in control and it’s all going to be ok. No matter what it looks like right now.” 

I believe that. Even when I let myself get distracted. Thank goodness He is patient.

I also want to say thanks to Sara and Tricia for encouragement today via phone.  Sara called and got more than she probably bargained for. And Tricia answered her phone and might have wished she’d have let the machine get it.  Though I’m not much of a phone person generally, it was nice to talk to you guys and learn from your similar experiences. My apologies for all the blah blah blah you had to endure!

Braska and M are at Children’s snoozing away right now.  I took them down and stayed through the prep process.  (There are pics on Braska’s blog if you are so inclined.) I’m heading back there at about 6:00 am.  It went very well, and I was very pleased that she wasn’t nearly as congested and snotty once we were there.  Makes me think again that there’s something in or with the house.  But M thinks I’m just paranoid or on a mission to get rid of this carpet.  And maybe that’s true…but the pattern is sure enough to make me wonder.

I still don’t know what to think about the spot on her tongue except it doesn’t seem to bother her, so I’ll not worry about it.  Thrush just might fit, as so many of you have mentioned.  (Hi to Melissa and Aunt Chris and Uncle Don too! Thanks for the tip!)  I really hope they see what they need to during the study.  The tech was SO wonderful, really nice and so accommodating.  And she was talking geek and Trek with M when I left.  Oh dear.

So tonight I go to bed. Things are ok.  I will survive.  I wish I didn’t get in those super overwhelmed and frustrated valleys, but I’m human and I suppose I’ve still got alot of growing to do.  Thanks for being a sounding board, friends and strangers.  Good night.
