Pediatric Urgent Care

So today was quite a day. It started quite normal and everything was going well, until my daughter ran her eye into my thumb (literally).  It was so sad, she cried so hard and there was nothing I could do but rock her and love her till she stopped. About 10 minutes later, which felt like eternity, she finally calmed down but her eye was so puffy and would not stop watering. When I looked at it everything appeared normal , but for some reason after her second nap it started watering all over again. Having no doctors here in town yet and no insurance card that covers here, we had no idea what to do. Thankfully, through several local friends and a referral from an adult urgent care we found a pediatric after hours urgent care center that was able to check her out. They were really nice, but our poor daughter was screaming as they put the solution in her eye to see if any damage was done. Thankfully everything turned out fine, but we will still have to apply some antibiotics just in case for a few days.

It is so hard to watch your child be in pain. Thankfully this wasn't as serious as it could have been, but even so it is never easy. All I could do was lay hands on her and pray for healing. It's moments like that, that remind me how thankful I am to be a parent serving God. Only he can calm you when you don't have all the answers or a quick fix to your child's pain.

In other updates... today before all this went down I was able to take some pics of the place, but still want to take more. Pics are coming soon. Also, Casey had a great first week of work and we are going to the HighPoint new members class tomorrow. 

Have a great weekend! We miss you all so much! 

P.S  Please pray that Sam's eye goes back to normal quickly and that no infection sets in.
