Realizing how blessed you are :)


It was an interesting week. Last week was just really hard dealing with everything I needed to deal with. That whole time my little man Cally was just smiley there by my side. I had noticed earlier that he had some really dark odd smelling urine (almost sweet). I had assumed it was dehydration b/c we have triple digit heat here daily. It came and it went until I realized it couldn't be just needing fluids. That is when the quiet worry began.

So today we finally ruled everything out, including diabetes... WHAT A RELIEF! The doctor thinks it was a UTI that got caught late. We will be watchful but really, truly in my heart I think he will be fine. It gave me a sudden realization how blessed we were. Once again I felt my priorities always will be with these little guys.

Tonight we had a banquet and got home later than usual. Little man had been through so much that day so my little buddy just wanted to rest on my chest for 20 minutes (best 20 minutes of my week) and yet again I counted my blessings!

  1. Sometimes those 20 minutes can change everything... even 5 minutes can!

  2. Sigh. My heart hurts for you. That worry, on top of everything else you have to deal with, must have been excruciating! I am so relieved that he is fine. So glad that everything is getting back to normal. And my goodness, what kind of kid has a UTI and is still smiley about it? Those things hurt. I am amazed at his temperament.
    And I am sure those 20 minutes were heaven. For the both of you! It is so good to get priorities back in line, isn't it?

  3. Oh I struggle with it. I'm so ambitious but I just have to remember I have a life time to achieve but my little baby boys won't want snuggles forever.
