So Saturday morning Ben complained of an ouch in his back. Come to find out something had burrowed pretty deep in there. I am a city girl, so I didn't know what it was, but had enough sense to know we had to get it out. We did, but not all of it. We took him in to the doctor so he could get it out, but he couldn't either so he told us to soak it for a few days. If it didn't come out then we could come back and they would cut it out. So we soaked, but in vain and went in on Monday to have it taken out. I held my little ones hand as they did it all and he was so brave. It didn't hurt, but looking into his watery eyes and delicateness about him I knew he was scared. That was hard because looking in those eyes made me want to cry. I don't think I will forget that for a long time.
Two stitches later he was fine and soon will be all healed. But, just one of those times where I am so glad for what I have. We are very lucky that Ben is healthy, not so much because of the tick incident, but more because he was born with a collapsed lung. Those early days I realized how fragile my little guys were and how anything could turn for the worse or for the good. We are blessed that all turned for the good. All in all I have been hugging my boys more lately.
It is good to remember God's blessings and how God brought me through different things. What have you been reminded of that God brought you through or blessed you with?

When Devin was three, he was driving me crazy and I was praying God would help me love him, and he almost drowned in a swimming pool. It really changed my heart toward him in a permanent sort of way. He didn't get on my nerves as much after that. :)
I'm glad all is well! It is tricky to remember how precious and fragile our children are! Thanks for the reminders :)
