Thursday 8 October 2009 - Thankful Thursday ~ the flu/pneumonia edition
Last Thursday Sgt. Elf was healthy. Her younger siblings had "chest colds", and I was starting to feel one coming on. Friday it was her turn, and by Saturday night she was in ICU at Children's Hospital with a partially collapsed lung. Yesterday she got to come home.
I am very thankful for:
- my wonderful husband who insisted on taking her in (I didn't realize how sick she was, since I was spending most of my time in bed myself.)
- countless prayer warriors ~ many of whom did not even know us
- emergency rooms
- ambulance drivers
- Children's Hospital
- ICU
- doctors
- nurses
- respiratory therapists
- physical therapists
- medical technology
- insurance to pay for it
- friends who brought the rest of my family food
- 13-year-old lungs that are working again
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you says the LORD.
Thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
~Jeremiah 29:11
