Buggin'

Whew!!!!!!! What a terrible terrible tummy bug going around. We have had it in our house for awhile now... we seem to be passing it around.... 

well, I saw we... I have not had it.. and I'm praying it stays that way!! Nat called me this evening saying he's feelin a little funky... 

Soo... we've been been hermits, trying not share.

Before all this junk, we did have Payton's annual appointment for her kidney reflux... (you can look here if you don't know what I'm talking about)  and I think that Its settled enough in my soul that I can write about it. We definitely didn't care for the direction it went this year. We learned that her reflux has indeed worsened and the Doctor is ready to see it corrected. 

I DO know that there are so many people out there that have children in way worse situations than this.

I DO know that I need to be grateful that this is the only "issue" we've had with our kids....

and that IS a blessing in itself

and don't get me wrong, I do fully recognize these things. I thank the Lord everyday for my healthy kids....

But Holy Guacamole.... the thought of them putting my baby to sleep, and cutting on her perfect little body gives me severe anxiety, and puts my stomach in all sorts of knots. I am going to be a complete WRECK that day. Well, unless many many people surround me with prayer and love. I finally had the guts to tell her what was going to happen... Putting it in 3.5 year old terms and all, she seems okay with it. All that to say, I am 80% positive she will do MUCH better than her mama will.

I explained to her how she was in the hospital when she was a little baby, and showed her pics of that time. She was most thrilled to see her blanket has been around since she was a little baby. ;)

So.. the countdown is on... and we are under the 2 week mark... and I'm ready for it to be over....
