Monday afternoon I put you down for a nap and 28 minutes later I am awaked by screams coming from your room through the monitor. I run to your room and you are on the floor with blood pouring out of your mouth. I was terrified that you had knocked your teeth out. Once I got you to the bathroom and cleaned up I realized it was your lip. You bit your lip almost all the way through. I didn’t know what to do so I called your daddy at work and he came home. I didn’t know if you need stitches. I just held and loved you until he got home.
We decided that you didn’t need stitches since it didn’t go all the way through your lip. Skip as few days….your daddy is out of town and Mrs. Jessica, Cooper and Colton are staying with us. It was Thursday night and you woke me up at 2:30 am to go to the bathroom. When you turned around to go back to your room you starting asking me why your room was changing and that you wanted me to make it go back. You said that you were seeing purple and green things in your room. You asked me to get some water to wipe off the green stuff on your pillow. I checked your fever and it was 104.6. I was shocked. I didn’t know what to do. I got Miss Jessica and then I called your Daddy. He really didn’t know what to tell me. I gave you some Motrin and looked at your lip. It was swollen and you were burning up. It took about 15 minutes for your fever to go down to 102 where it hovered for the next few hours. We stayed up until 4:45 together watching Popeye. You finally went to sleep after another round of Tylenol at 4:45.
At 8:30 the next morning I was on the phone making an appointment with the doctor. We went to the Dr. Hubbard at 9:45. She said that your lip was VERY infected and that we had to do several things so that you wouldn’t end up in the hospital. First, they pricked your finger in order to get a blood count and a strep test. Once they received the results she came in to
I’m Amazed
No one knew how alone I was feeling
And the emptiness I tried so hard to hide
Through I laughed and said my life was fine without You.
I was covering up the secret tears I cried
Then one day someone told me of Your mercy
And the love You showed on a hill called Calvary
There you died and purchased my redemption
When you broke sin’s power and set my spirit free
I’m amazed that You love me I’m amazed how You care
Through Your precious blood I’ve fond pardon
And my sins are washed, They’re all washed away
All my sins are washed away
It’s true there have been days when I’ve failed You Lord,
You know the many times I’ve gone astray
But I’ve learned that Your love is stronger than my weakness
And you ear is open every time I pray
No one else has ever cared for me like You, Lord
Other friends could never be as close to me
I’m not afraid to face the problems of tomorrow
Knowing You are everything I’ll ever need
I’m amazed that You love me I’m amazed how You care
Through Your precious blood I’ve fond pardon
And my sins are washed, They’re all washed away All my sins are washed away
