Update

Well, this one is going to be very short... The little boy that had kidney failure is at home now with his family and he is doing well. I spoke to his mother and she was relieved that he was finally home and that he was doing well. She said that he was back to his sweet, active little self! Thank goodness! I want to thank each one of you that said prayers for him, he surely needed them! Prayer is so powerful and you are all so amazing to say them for him. Thank you!!!!

My night of sobbing.

So, my son Corbin has had a toothache for 3 days now and on Saturday night his face started to swell. He had surgery to fix all the cavities in May and now I think one is abscessing. His fevers are scary and he has hardly eaten. So, today I took him to the Hospital to get him some antibiotics. While we were there, I saw someone that I  have known for most of my life, she came in with her son. I was trying to keep Corbin talking so that he didn't think about being in the E.R. Next thing I know I hear the other little boy crying, wanting to leave the Hospital. Corbin started getting antsy, you know, like any other kid would and started crying telling me that the Dr was taking too long and that he wanted to go home. I kept calming him down, but the other little boys cries were overwhelming him. He asked me why he was crying and I just told him that I didn't know. I felt so bad for the little boy, but I kept reassuring Corbin that he was okay and was probably just scared.

As a parent you fear that something worse is wrong with your child than there really is. I was laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy with my Husband tonight and I was watching the episode where a little boy was dying from organ failure and that a criminal that was on death row and dying in the hospital wanted to give the boy his organs. At the last minute he was saved by a different person that was a match. I know that I am a Mother and seeing something like that just makes me teary eyed, as I know that I am not the only one out there that cries at the drop of a hat when it comes to someone dying, fake or real. I never want to live what other parents have had to live through, by losing a child. Yes, my son only has a dental emergency but infections can also be dangerous. I was emotional about it.

I decided, after the show ended that I wanted to check my Facebook and so on. As I was scrolling down the most recent feed, I noticed that the person that I had seen in the E.R. had left a status that her little boy was life flighted to a Children's Hospital up North for Kidney failure. I have been crying ever since. I keep thinking about him crying and about Corbin's concern for him and I just fell apart. After watching that show and reading what she wrote, and worrying for my own son, I felt compelled to ask anyone that is reading this Blog, to please take a few minutes and pray for this sweet little boy. He and his family need our thoughts and prayers at this time. Her little boy is only about 4 years old.... he needs all he can get.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this... and thank you in advance for any and all prayers, I'm sure his family would be grateful. I hope that everyone has a safe 4th of July.
