It's like looking through some bizarre lens.
A week ago today our oldest son (the one that moved out recently), was admitted to Intensive Care. It's been a hard week and I'm not up to sharing all the when, where and why stuff but I will say that he was not responsive and near death when I was called to the ER Friday night. Once stable, we were told that he may not have full brain function.
After a scary couple of days, he is awake and doing very well and expected to fully recover. His mom however has been a bit of a wreck. I can't explain the run of my emotions this week. I often feel like the world is swirling about around me and I'm still, watching it all... Only one thought in my mind... Only one topic of discussion... My boy.
Although we feel a bit hung out to dry, God is faithful even when we are too exhausted to recognize it. We are so grateful for our son's life and for the close friends who have been here to help with the kids and late nights. This weekend we will rest and bask in the faithfulness of God!
He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. (Psalm 91:4)
Oh Sweetheart... Hold him tight.x

God bless all of you! What a scary time you must have all had. I am praying for all good things to come to you and yours. Hugs and love to all, hang in there. It is so wonderful to be able to share with you, so I hope that we all can bring you a modicum of comfort! theresemarie
ReplyDeleteWords are not easy - but I'm so glad you know Who to run to! Praying your son does as well. I've never been in this situation exactly - but I do know what it's like to have all your thoughts be consumed with a son or daughter...praying all the time... crying at times. As I've been reminded - God loves them even more than we do. There is sweet comfort in that.
ReplyDeleteHello, so very sorry to hear of your troubles this past week. I will keep you and your son and family in my prayers. Things will work out.

I am so sorry to hear this and please know that prayers are being sent heavenward for your son and your whole family.
ReplyDeleteI don't need to know your situation, but this brings memories flooding back of our daughter and many sleepless nights, many nights spent crying, ICU one night and wondering if she would be okay , but God is GOOD , He is FAITHFUL and He will bring you through this time. He brought us through as well as our daughter and she has an amazing story to tell of His love and forgiveness.
Many hugs!!!
My heart just breaks for all the pain you and your family have had to endure. I truely hope that your son will be fine.
ReplyDeleteBless you and your son. I hope all goes well.
