Deep down, I knew there was more wrong with Tatum than a virus. The Lord told me to make an appointment for the doctor for the next morning. Tatum and I prayed voraciously for wisdom from the doctor. My Reach group also texted me a pertinent prayer. While I was reading it, the doctor walked in. Talk about timing on an answered prayer.
She had wise and clarifying news; exactly what we prayed for!!! Tatum had polyps on her tonsils and the start of a serious ear infection.
She felt horrible this morning. SHAKING AND SHIVERING. Miserable.
The doctor told us although the strep was negative, she had every symptom of strep. SO we got antibiotics!!!!
Instantly, I knew this was an answer to prayer and GOD. Plus, in two days, her insurance runs out for this free clinic, so I’m so grateful this happened now.
She took naps, rested, and relaxed today.
She also built some Legos with the patience of Job. Wow.
Later in the day, she did have the shivers, but that Advil really helps. Thank you, Jesus!!
Coti and Tatum rested together, and I think we are on the mend.
She has missed four days of school. Prayerfully, she’ll return on Friday.
I have enjoyed all this time with her, and I think it’s been beneficial for her to gain compassion for what it’s like to be really sick. I also have seen her FIGHT for her health. I love this girl so deeply that it hurts. Thank you Jesus for your work on ME and Tatum. The blood you shed has been poured out on us today. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
