My sweet girl has had such a rough go of her transition into middle school. She has been sick so much. She has now had strep throat six times since September. She has missed so much school and has struggled to keep up with the class work. She also has been having some GI issues which have been exacerbated by all the antibiotic use for the strep throat.
We finally had her tonsils and adenoids out this month, and she has had a terrible time recovering from that. She ended up being readmitted for three more days after the surgery due to dehydration and weight loss. Her throat being sore caused her to eat slower, and since her belly was already a mess she was eating even less than previous. In that admission we have really started discussing her immune system and questioning whether or not she may also be immunocompromised like her siblings. I don’t know why that is so overwhelming and scary to me. I don’t know why this is affecting me so much. I know how to do this. I know how to navigate with sick kiddos, I have been walking this road for such a long time. But for some reason this one feels so different. I am so sad for her, so overwhelmed for what this may mean for her. So sad for the rough road that she has been on here lately. Please be praying for my girl. Pray for healing of her body, healing of whatever is going on with her belly (she will be scoped next month to determine what is going on), pray for her immune system, that our God can strengthen and sustain her. That she isn’t immunocompromised like her siblings. Pray for her emotional health, as this has all been very overwhelming for her. Pray for her spiritual health, that she will lean on Him through all of the struggles that she faces. And please pray for me, that I can be the mother to her that she needs, that God will use me to encourage and strengthen her.
Beautifully Blessed
