It started off with this:
Yes, YUMMY! Stephen made Berry-filled Crepes for my breakfast, and Mr. Blue-Eyes made me a very sweet card.
But it ended with a trip to the ER. I found a tick on Elsa's leg late in the afternoon. We removed it, but it looked like we didn't get all of it. There were no urgent care centers open at that point, so the doctor told me to take her to the ER.
It appeared as though it was going to be a quick visit, but it ended up taking several hours (big surprise!).
Both boys had tick bites last weekend, and our neighbor has Lyme disease from a bite she got last year. I am struggling now with letting the kids play outside even when I know it's good for them. Bug spray is a must now when they go out....plus, baths and tick checks each night.
I suppose most of all I'm struggling to let go as I remember that each one of my children is each a gift from God and, ultimately, they each belong to Him.
I'm praying that He will help me to trust in His goodness and love to us, knowing that He loves each child so much more than I do.
