Of Small Town Hospitals
We had our first hospital adventure last night since Aidan was born. We've only been to hospitals to visit since he was born. Our two daughters were born at home. Yes, we planned the births that way but that's another story...
Last night Alora, our two year old was playing at Neena and Papa's (my parents) house and fell and hit her head. She seemed alright but then this goose egg showed up on her forehead. We parents went into panic mode and flew over to the local hopsital to make sure she'd be OK. It was quite the experience. We were trying to keep her awake in case she had a concussion, talking to her and asking her questions. By the time they got to us in the Emergency Room she was back to her usual jovial self. If not for the "egg on her face" as she called it you wouldn't know she'd just been hurt.
The nurses and doctor on duty were really nice and quick to assist. It was as pleasant an experience as you could hope for in the hospital. She only had a small contussion with no serious damage to anything. No shattered nose, cracked skull or anything like that. She may be sore for a few days, but otherwise, perfectly fine. As a plus, it was only $25 to get us out the door (we will be billed the rest later). All in all - Hurray for our side!
I thank God for watching over us and our kids and keeping us safe. No matter how we may mess things up and stand in the way, he watches and is in control. Even in the hardest times, we can trust in him. As parents one of our greatest desires is to pass a trust in God on to our children. In moments like those we experienced last night, those lessons may be taught best.
Oh GOD,
Please help us raise our kids to trust and follow YOU. In the hard moments we face may we be a good example to them so our actions will bear our words out as true. Help us always to walk by faith and pass that faith on to them.
In Jesus' name - Amen
