My sweet 2 year old.. broke her femur on Christmas Eve..
She has been put into a Hip Spica (body cast) ...
Wanted to share some of my journal entries
from this adventure in our lives..
12/24
sledding accident on Mountain.. 1 1/2 hours to hospital..
first time on any meds.. morphine.. x rays... broken femur..
Me.. I was calm until the drugs were being pumped in my child and as we waited to see if she would have a bad reaction to meds.
need to be put to sleep to be placed in a hip spica cast..
doctor says life will be miserable for 2 months..
When they take her to surgery room I sign a paper and i see in case of death.. I start crying uncontrollably thinking I will never see my child alive again..
I have gone the whole day with no food or water and still nursing Maggie..
almost pass out..
finally eat.. my emotions are now back to normal and I am not as dramatic..
12/25
"Count it all joy when you fall into various trials.."
My trial: Ella broken femur.. in hip spica cast.. needs cares 24/7
My JOY:
Ross and I were both with her when she got hurt
Kay was able to help with Maggie
The drive down Mt. and to hospital safe
the car with car seats at house
ER took us right away
best bone doc around
x ray shows broke but not all the way thru
growth plate not damaged
pain meds and all the drugs no lasting side effects no allergic reaction
not having to spend night in hospital
Maggie was a trooper
My daughter is alive ..
....
I must say the past 2 1/2 almost 3 weeks have been very hard... everyone keeps telling me God does not give more than we can handle.. and I tried to believe that even though my mind would say other wise.. BUT today a friend told me.. God does give us more than we can handle that way we HAVE TO go to HIM.. and then he will give us just enough grace to get thru it..
SO I must say.. Without CHRIST, I would probably go crazy from lack of sleep and the whining.. and when i say lack of sleep I mean I feel rested when I get 2 hours in a row! But I can say this trial has brought me to my knees every minutes of the day in desperate need for help and sanity!.. and he gives me just what I need for that moment..
