One Of Those Days

Have you ever had one of those days where you are driving down the rode and suddenly a song comes on and all of a sudden you are crying. Today I had one of those days. Charles and I were on the way to another appointment this week. He has had one everyday since last week. It has been hard taking him and watching many different Drs pick and prod at him. The update is that Charles is going for an MRI on Friday, April 3. He will have to stay the night at Children's Hospital because they have to sedate him for the MRI. Charles' feeding issues have not improved and he seems to have gotten weak and sleepy which they are not sure right now why. The Physical Therapist has begun to work with him on strengthening his muscles through positioning and movements. We are hoping that it will help get him on track to where he is supposed to be. Tomorrow we meet with an ENT who will look at his tongue and throat to see if there is anything wrong that could be affecting his feeding. Sitting there in traffic I thought about how exhausted Charlie and I are and how Hannah is still not sleeping well. So everything added up and I had a moment when I heard a song. It said "It wont be like this for long..." It is on the play list here on the blog. But it made me think of how things seem hard right now but soon Charlie and I will look back and realize how fast the kids have grown. It makes me cherish these times where things seem so hard and when were so tired. Because just like this song I now have a different perspective on the challenges that we are currently facing. Please continue to pray for all of us, especially Charles during this time.
