Prayer request...

This is how we've spent much of our long weekend...

Her first breathing treatment was torture for all involved, but all those following just required some silly singing to keep her mind off of the giant mask on her face.

Even though she has not felt like herself, she's still our little rock star!  The punk rock hairstyle was complements of a restless nights sleep and the fuchsia braid is complements of her "tither!"

We've spoken to Grace's pediatrician multiple times over the weekend, as of this morning (after seeing her) she suggested that we take her to the ER because she was concerned that it may be pneumonia and she may need some extra support to get past it.  Off to the ER...

Grace must have been having horrible PTSD from all of her experiences in the hospital because anytime someone in scrubs got near her, she lost it...  even her mommy at times.  I get to wear scrubs to work and unfortunately I was wearing blue scrubs today, which happen to be the same color as the ER nursing staff, so she was even unsure of me at times :-(.  The good news is that Grace knows how to extend grace and is quick to forgive.  Here she is waving and blowing kisses to the nurse that had just put her IV line in...

Finally she knocked out and got a few minutes of rest...

The Dr's aren't comfortable with her oxygen level being as low as it is right now (especially when she's sleeping), so they are watching her and giving her support (oxygen, chest pt, etc) as she battles what is suspected to be a viral infection.  A huge praise is that it doesn't look like her condition is heart related and her lungs don't look terrible.  

I think that the rest of the family has PTSD too because it is an all to familiar feeling of dreading being split up and the uncertainty of how long it's going to last, etc.  The kids and I were grabbing dinner tonight when we looked out the window to see this beautiful sight...

We talked about how a rainbow is a sign of God's promise and faithfulness to His people.  It served as a sweet reminder that God's got this (just like He always has and always will)! We needed this sweet and timely reminder.

Village,  will you please pray that Grace makes a full recovery quickly and that our family can find the joy of the moment despite being separated and being concerned about our little Gracie girl?  Tomorrow morning Abigail has her 1st grade awards ceremony which I know David was looking forward to and Abby was excited to have her whole family there.  Will you please pray that it would be a blessed time for all, even though it's not what we had envisioned it looking like?

THANK YOU, SWEET VILLAGE!!!
