This is hard...
I praise the Lord for the
doctors and the medical technology that will give Lizzie the best
chance of walking “normally” and living relatively pain free as
she grows...
but this is hard.
My Mighty Mouse is hurting
and itchy and immobile and uncomfortable and not very happy about any
of it.
Going from this...
to this...
has been an adjustment...
a big adjustment...
She is 8 and the big
picture here escapes her...
cause she is 8
but we remind her that
this is temporary and we remind her that it is OK to feel some
discomfort and itchiness and we remind her that she will be even
mightier than before...
and we remind her that we
. love . her!
It has been a bit of a
rough road for this tomboy, soccer star, fire cracker, as Lizzie
relinquishes control. We trust, however, that during this time of total
dependance, her attachment will secure, our bond will strengthen and
that the Lord will use this time to grow her trust and fill her
heart.
There is a mighty work
going on within our Mighty Mouse and He is reassuring me that this
will all be for her good and not just physically...
as we pray through the pain and the itchiness and the discomfort and even the anger.
as we pray through the pain and the itchiness and the discomfort and even the anger.
Hang in there my sweet
Lizzie
For our light
affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more
exceeding and eternal weight of glory 2
Corinthians 4:17
It is a "momentary weakness"
Praying for your sweet baby girl! She certainly is a mighty mouse and I am sure this is beyond challenging for her. (praying the discomfort and itchiness goes away!
ReplyDeleteThank you sweet Jean!
Delete:( My eyes are welling up with tears. May I send her a little something to cheer her up and make her time in a cast a little more bearable? If so, do you think you could email me your postal address? My email address is wongeelynn@yahoo.com. Wishing Lizzie a speedy recovery, and sending all of you love and strength.

DeleteSweet Annie....I must have missed, why is Lizzie's arm in a cast too?
ReplyDeleteCherie
Cherie, she had corrective surgery on her clubfoot and they separated her fingers a bit more. Why they had to put a full arm cast on, I do not know:(
