It's a non conventional Christmas lead up for us.
I would like to be decorating the house.
I would like to be making and assembling gingerbread houses.
I would like to be catching up with friends and celebrating.
I would like to be writing lists and dreaming of food.
I would like to be making merriment and enjoying the children's anticipation of Christmas.
Oh I had plans.
But.
A trip to the ER happened. More than once.
Erythema Multiforme happened
and will be happening for a few more hot weeks.
Itching. Fever. Swelling. Bruising.
And a boy who needs special care, happened.
So I have to lay down my Christmas plans.
Pare it back.
Love.
A baby boy.
Thankfulness.
And if that is what Christmas is all about then perhaps I'm closer than I thought.
Oh Katherine - that looks horrible! Poor little darling!! I really feel for you too though - it's hard enough to look after healthy kids! Praying it won't plague him all summer.
ReplyDeleteWill be keeping you and Zeb in my prayers. I think you're right loving your little boy is much closer than having pretty decorations and nice food - thank you for this post.
ReplyDeleteMuch love, Martine
May he get a touch from God this Christmas!! Love you all and will continue to pray. Mel.
