With great illness comes great fear

Brody recently fell ill with Pneumonia. Also, his active Staph infection flared up and complicated things. Since we are so "seasoned" in respiratory illness, we did not have to hospitalize him. We have been able to care for him at home. Its taken a little longer for him to get better without daily shots and IV's but its been worth it to avoid him picking up a secondary infection. Never knowing if "this time" is the last time, I broke down a couple days ago. I remember asking myself "Why does God insist he suffer?" We pray for Brody's health but there are also times when we pray for God's mercy. Sometimes, you just don't know what to pray for... But as of right now, he is recovering well. We've been delighted to see him smiling again. Its nice to have our Brody back, for however long it may be.
