Both of my grandsons spent last night in the hospital.
If you are reading this blog, you know that Logan has been at Children’s for several weeks. Well, Griffin had an urgent ER visit last night after an allergic reaction to a cashew. When you receive a FaceTime call from your daughter that begins with “Don’t worry, Griff’s OK,” you know something is wrong. And then you notice the unmistakable look of an ER room. Thanks to Bridget and Connor’s quick and likely traffic-law-breaking drive to the hospital – and the use of the EPI pen – Griff is OK. Traumatic for all.
We knew that Griff was allergic to peanuts, but unaware of other nut allergies. So… now nuts of all kinds are off the menu. I asked Donna, “Do we have an EPI pen for Griff when he is with us?” Nurse Donna replied, “Yes, in the grey bag that is always with him.” Good to know. Thank you to this new group of medical caregivers for their work with Griffin.
A rare double-picture blog post, Logan is doing OK. The most recent challenge has been nutrition with the feeding tube getting inadvertently getting yanked out via random grabs by Logan. Reinsertion is traumatic for all, and so last night socks were double-taped onto Logan’s hands to reduce the possibility of removal. The smiling picture of Logan hides the challenges of the last several days, but let’s take it, right? We are praying that Logan’s body heals itself as expected and white blood cells grow.
What is tough to take, Lord, is that my grandsons were in the hospital overnight at the same time. One is too many, two is intolerable. While my emotions are kinda under control, I still have moments when it all overwhelms me. Please, Lord, a break?
Yes I agree..prayers for a break….❤
omg , how scary and so sad. Both grandsons at once in the hospital would have definitely brought me over the stress edge.
Prayers constantly are coming for you and your family. love you all
It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. I pray your family gets a break soon. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
The way you are sharing your thoughts and feelings here is just beautiful. I hope you will feel some peace from all the prayers that are being lifted for Logan and your family. Peace be with you.
