God's Gift

I am frustrated. Unfortunately, Ella spiked another fever while at school today. When I picked her up she was very sleepy. She actually fell asleep on our five minute commute home. I carried her to her bed and she slept all afternoon. Her fever was at 102 and her chills were terrible. Thankfully, Hayes took a good afternoon nap so I could lay with Ella. She likes for someone to be with her when she feels her worse. Her wonderful, sweet teacher new something wasn't right near the time school was over and loved on her. I am thankful for the wonderful school family we have.
As I wrote earlier today that I woke up with an anxious feeling, I realize now why. God was preparing me for another episode. I truly believe God equips all mothers with a gift of instinct. Mothers know when something isn't right. We get a feeling that is hard to ignore. I had this feeling in the beginning of all this and it led me to research the cause. And led me to discuss it with Ella's pediatrician. Who knows how long this will last but I know God will be with me. My heart is sad tonight because I am watching my daughter suffer but when I asked for God to comfort me and most importantly comfort Ella He did. Little signs I saw - Ella would briefly smile and giggle at something funny she saw on TV or something her brother did and I would immediately feel a little peace. Despite the sadness in all of this, my little girl still remains upbeat when she can. She truly is so strong and I am so proud of her. My prayer tonight is that this episode, that was suppose to be mild but not looking so, ends quickly.
