In reply to Gabrielle. Gabrielle, thank you dear for sharing your story. I'm so glad to hear that your son is doing better now and I pray all your children will keep healthy and strong. Our children are a blessing from God. Keep the faith. XO

Michelle, I know exactly how you feel. Your husband is right to say that you can’t live in fear, but it’s still a struggle when you have a scare like the one you just had. I’m struggling with fear too. For me, it’s my chidren. Back in March, my 6 week old son had emergency surgery to remove half of one lung. The doctors said he couldn’t have lasted much longer in the shape he was in–he only had minutes or hours left when he had surgery. He is wonderfully healthy now, but since coming home from the hospital, both he and my two year old have had a series of illnesses, and I’m terrified of every cold, stomach virus, or rash that comes our way (our latest trial is baby eczema). Anyway, I’m not wanting to dump on you, but I want you to know that I completely understand. Just because everything is OK now doesn’t mean you feel like it is. It takes time to come down and adjust to life again, especially now that you have a new perspective on life. You and I now know just how precious life is. But God has brought you this far, and He will continue to care for you. As much as I worry, I have to admit that just the sight of my sweet baby’s face is a reminder of just how good God has been to us.

I grow up a little every day, so I understand what you mean. Also, your husband is pretty smart! But sometimes it takes a little distance to put good advice into perspective and start taking it.

I’m so glad you’re okay. Events like this remind us how truly precious life is, and yes how ultimately as much as we would like to have control over everything (I’m a fellow type A so I know how it is) we are not, and only God is. So we have to let Him have control, sit back, and enjoy every single day.
