So thankful for nurses at 4 am.

So it is now Sunday morning, and at about 4 am I called in a panic to the ER in town. Kimber woke up crying and was soaked. When I went to change her she was like a rag doll she was so limp that she couldn't even stand up. I had tried to stand her up to take off her undershirt and she just collapsed. At this point all I wanted to do was cry. I had been sick with the flu earlier in the night. Thankfully I kept praying that God would give me the strength to wake up and feel well enough to take care of Kimber. Even at 4 am I was feeling better so I was so thankful for an answered prayer. After the scare of her not being able to stand and her daddy taking her upstairs for a bath I called the ER and the nurse told me to watch her for a couple hours after she was up for the day and if she was not drinking or eating anything then we should bring her in. Thankfully she woke up around 8 again and wanted something to drink and a few Cheerios. I am hoping she is able to keep this down. Needless to say I will be calling into work tomorrow. Very grateful for a flexible job that will allow me to make up the hours later in the week. There are so many things to be thankful for in times of stress. A washer that continues to run hourly...a phone to call the ER...a flexible job...a good husband that got up and helped carry her upstairs to take a bath...and the list goes on. Its the small things in life that make a world of difference when you are scared, tired, and sick. Thanks for the prayers.
