There is upset, worried, even scared; and then there is deep down, shaking you to the core, take your breath away fear. For the last two months, events with my SweetGirl have had me teetering back and forth between denial and panic. There has been fear.
Kids aren’t supposed to get headaches. But occasionally they do right?
It’s not normal for little girls to be covered in bruises. Bruises all over their legs. Never ending bruises….unless said child is a super klutzo like her Mama. Right?
Children should not have back pain that brings them to tears. Aches in their sides that have them cry out in pain. Except she did just fall off the swing, oh and her bike, run into a bush, and fall off a bench all in the same day.
So when one night’s late night tears, and one Mama’s worries become just too much it was time to push the issue, push the Doctors, and find some answers.
My answers lead to this…
a huge sigh of relief.
All is well, SweetGirl is well.
I can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I can breathe again.
Someone once said that having a child is like having your heart walk around outside of your body. No truer words were ever spoken.
It’s joy and pain, fear and hope, all wrapped into one.
It is the sweetest and purest kind of love.
Today I once again count my blessings, give thanks for my children, their health and just breathe……
When our children are happy, so are we.
Wishing you all the best of days.

When we were told that parenting is hard – nobody ever said just HOW hard! I worry about mine ALL. THE. TIME.
In fact, I don’t think I’ve let my breath out since he was born.
So glad to hear your beautiful girl is okay.
I’m so so glad everything turned out ok. Glad that your sweet little girl is going to be fine.
No one ever told me how difficult being a mother would be. They don’t tell you that part. It’s by far the hardest job ever! Lord don’t I know…we’ve been dealing with a lot in our house this past year….it’s tough, so tough.
Glad you’re able to breathe.

So happy all is well with Sweetgirl. We had a scare too lately and the anguish and worry you describe has been part of our daily life for almost a quarter of this year. We too are relieved, thank God for that. Being a parents pushes your emotions to sometimes unbearable limits…
Oh I am so happy things turned out well. there is nothing more frightening than that. B
That is some list, I can see why you were worried out of your mind. I would have been too. *hugs* Glad she’s ok.
Congrats on your blog status!! 🙂
Oh mama… I hear you, I hear you, I hear you… I worry like this and when there is reason to worry it is the worst… always go to the doctor and get answers! And I’m so thankful that everything is okay!!! xoxo
Thank goodness all is well. There is nothing that will bring a parent to the dark place than the thought that their child is not perfectly healthy and happy!!
I’m so glad you pushed through and followed up. I would have been terrified, too. I’m grateful that SweetGirl is well.
Blessings,
MM
oh, I can relate so well. Parenting is emotionally exhausting. Love to you and your sweet girl – glad she is well!
I am so thankful your sweet girl is well.
We’ve been down that road…and are still traveling it at times. IT never gets easy.
Hugs to you and yours!
