Kaebrie was so out of energy at her Dr. appointment on Tuesday that she fell sleep snuggled up to me while we were waiting. This doesn't happen much so I soaked every ounce of it up!
Owen's verdict was in last Sunday after two Instacare trips and a chest x-ray confirming, Pneumonia! Bummer...
Kaebrie started with a cough and I took her in Tuesday to discover her ear infection.
One thing is for certain, I hate having sick kids. I wish I could take away their pain and suffering.
When you are a parent and you try everything under the sun to help your child and you see no improvement, it's hard!
This is when you realize that you need to keep the prayers going and have faith that they will heal.
I asked Owen last Sunday evening if he would like to have Jeff give him a blessing.
His reply was this "Mom, I can just say my own prayer and Heavenly Father will help me feel better". Wow, what faith he had and what an example my sweet Owen is to me.
His pure and simple statement of prayer has stuck with me all week.
This reminded me of the talk given by Richard G. Scott In Nov. 1995 Ensign article that states:
"His invitation, "Ask, and ye shall receive" (3 Nephi 27:29) does not assure that you will get what you want. It does guarantee that, if worthy, you will get what you need, as judged by a Father that loves you perfectly, who wants your eternal happiness even more than do you."
