I am home today. It feels very nice to be reunited with my family - my dear boys and husband. I had been gone for 5 days to take care of my sick, single Father. It was a hard choice, but one we made quickly - and thankful that I did. 11 days ago, my Dad was suddenly ill. After many ambulance rides, tests, scans, the doctors discovered he had a massive blood clot in his left calf. Part of the clot had broken off and entered his lung causing a Pulmonary Embulism. After two days, he ended up having many blood clots in his lungs. It was a scary situation and the doctors did not give a positive prognosis. Praise the Lord, my Dad has come through it and he is now resting at home and I have been able to return home - 400 miles.
Without hesitation, the drama began this morning - a good way to be welcomed home! Lol. Our youngest son, nearing 23 mos, let out a bad scream right outside my bedroom door. We immediately opened the door and picked up the little tyke. After what seemed like minutes, I finally found the source of pain. His third finger, on the padding side, had a huge gash - not a slice, in it. It was very deep and bleeding profusely. After wrapping it in plenty of guaze, we rushed to the hospital (ours is 30 miles!). After waiting quite awhile, since the little one wasn't screaming in pain, they finally saw him and were shocked to see how bad it was. It was still bleeding quite bad after several hours! After an x-ray confirming the bone wasn't broken, they put in 4 stitches. Surprisingly, this is the first time any of my boys have had stitches. It was very heartbreaking for us to confine the tot and see him suffer through the painful shots and stitches. But he is doing well tonight, although as expected his finger is very tender.
In other exciting news, we are happy to announce we are expecting our fourth child in March! We are very happy and overjoyed with the news. Peter says "I hope it is a sister!". The Lord knows and has planned the perfect baby for our family. |
