Roller coaster ride...

I am really trying to be PATIENT!!!! It is so hard when you are told you GET to go HOME today and then things change and you are told you CAN'T go HOME! They took another chest x-ray this morning and it "looks" like there is a little fluid so they are going to watch Paige and see if things will change or stay the same by tomorrow. It is a roller coaster ride here everyday! Paige had a great night with no chest tube, no pick line in and no oxygen. She is AMAZING! My mom and dad got here last night to vacation with the kids for fall break. How thankful I am for them and the happiness they bring into my children's life! My kids were sooooo excited!!! I keep telling myself I am going to make it through this...i think i can, i think i can, i think i can!!!

Christine said...: I keep thinking of something my mother-in-law quoted from a general young women meeting: "I am a daughter of God and I can do hard things." That has given me a lot of strength. Roller coaster rides are not always fun! I hope all will be well.; October 14, 2010 at 11:18 AM

Andrea Gunnell said...: I think being in the hospital has been described as a roller coaster ride by just about every heart Mom! It's emotionally draining. Hang in there. I'm so happy to hear that surgery was cancelled though. Good luck with everything today. Hopefully tomorrow is the day of going home!!!; October 14, 2010 at 12:59 PM

"Parents who have surrendered the sweetest and smallest flowers from the family's garden need to remember our Heavenly Father. He has promised a special reward to those who now suffer in silence, who spend long days and longer nights through their trying times of bereavement. Our Creator has promised glory. He said, "For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but nigh at hand." (D&C 58:4) That promised glory includes the blessing of reunion with each child who has left the family circle to help surviving members of the family to draw nearer to God. Those children still live and are a heritage to the Lord."
Russell M. Nelson

President John Taylor once said: "that the best explanation he could offer why so many little children among the Saints were called away, notwithstanding the great faith and power of the priesthood exercised to keep them here, was that they were bright and noble spirits who held important positions in the kingdom of God in the spirit world, from which they could not long be spared., They were given brief furloughs, long enough to come to earth, take upon themselves bodies of flesh and bone that they might be prepared for a resurrection to a kingdom of glory; and after a short experience in mortality were called back to resume important labors in a higher sphere."

Joseph F. Smith said:"Joseph Smith taught the doctrine that the infant child that was laid away in death would come up in the resurrection as a child; and pointing to the mother of a lifeless child, he said to her: ' You will have the joy, the pleasure, and satisfaction of nurturing this child, after its resurrection, until it reaches the full stature of its spirit.' There is restitution, there is growth, there is development, after the resurrection from death. I love this truth. It speaks volume of happiness, of joy and gratitude to my soul. Thank the Lord he has revealed these principles to us."
