Sickly Smurf

Posted by Unknown on 9:34 PM
The only thing I hate more than being sick--is one of my babies being sick. I hate when the big baby is sick because it is pitiful to see this: a grown man + any ailment= instant two year old. I did not sign up for that! Or maybe I did...anyway...I digress.

The worst is when my real babies are sick. Luckily, since our ear infection days with Kacie, she has been relatively healthy...at least no major "I need my mommy" illnesses.

Coy has been sick for almost a week now, and I'm nearly beside myself. The medicine he takes for his double ear infection makes his little tummy all in a tizzy. He has so much congestion and drainage that he gets choked on his many coughs and throws up at least twice a day. It's like he has the stomach virus, without a stomach virus, but with all the mess that goes with it!!

Calgon...take me away!!!

The messy part I can handle, but my baby's crying and me not being able to help him is more than more poor heart can take. I pray God will heal him, not for my sake, but for his little one. I know God doesn't make our children sick so he can test us, but I think he does use these sickness as an opportunity. There is nothing like rocking a sick baby to make you want your Heavenly Father to rock you, too.

I hope you make Coy well, God, but I thank you for making realize I'm a sick child, too, and I need you like Coy needs me.

Psalm 127:3Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward

I'm sorry that Coy is sick. I remember feeling that way when I just had Brooks & Eli and they would get sick. Now those feelings are reserved for blood, stitches, & those sorts of things. But you're right....the mess isn't so hard. Trying to scramble to give 5 sick people the care they need is exhausting.
