TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY! Lyric RINGS THE BELL!
🎉 🎗️ 🔔
1006 days ago, that’s 143 weeks and 5 days ago, I walked Lyric into Nemours ER, scared, worried, anxious. Every part of me knew something was wrong, but there was a little part of me that kept saying “you’re crazy, they are going to just send you home, everything is fine, you’re overreacting”. Never, ever, would I imagine what would come from that visit. I’ll never forget the look of the ER Doctor and nurses, as they were seeing his bruising, his limping, his high fever. Everyone’s demeanor was changing. They knew. They didn’t tell me they knew, but they knew. When labs were taking longer than they said, I questioned the nurse, and with a quiet, almost quivering voice he said “the doctor will come in to talk to you shortly”. Before I knew it, he was being admitted into a cold, scary hospital room, with dangerously low blood counts. He was getting blood transfused within hours of walking in. Even when they were bringing in oncology, a part of me was still in denial. I was writing the people closest to me that there was no way this could be THAT, right? And it was. My innocent 2 and half year old baby was sick, and there wasn’t a thing I could do to control it. That’s life. This unfortunate journey has brought on an entirely new view on everything in my life. Things that were important, were no longer that important. Watching my son conquer so much hurt and pain and sickness and STILL be one of the happiest, friendliest kids you will meet, changed me, for the BEST. It made me WISER, MORE PATIENT, EAGER, FAITHFUL IN GOD, and most importantly STRONGER! It honestly SAVED MY LIFE (thats a different testimony) All I can say is YOU DID IT BABY! YOU DID IT! The enemy won’t win!
