All Dressed Up With No Place To Go


The clothes are clean and put aside, the instructions written out, the quarantine almost over, the teachers notified, the reservations made, the departure date approaching, and...Abbey has a fever. Last night she was warm and it was only 99.8, so not technically a fever. I thought it was probably the two new teeth that she is cutting. :o) But, this morning it was 101.4, so not likely the teeth. Plus, her appetite is dropping off, she is a bit fussier than usual and she has a runny nose.

So, I called the hospital and talked to the charge nurse. She said that if Abbey gets better quickly and never really seems that sick, then there is about a 20% chance that they will go through with it. We have to wait until Monday to talk to the nurse practitioner.

But, l know the Lord is in control and we will have the surgery in His timing. Like one friend said, maybe the person that is going to encourage us, or vice versa, won't be having surgery until later. We will see.

By the way, Abbey is all dressed up for her birthday!! She is one today. I can't believe it. It has been a wonderful year. We are going to have a little celebration later this afternoon. I hope to have pictures and thoughts up soon.
