February 22 - “Rubber band on the back bumper”

After watching over her closely all night long, it appeared that AnnaGrace might just be dealing with a case of a virus after all. No symptoms arose that pointed to an escalation of an appendicitis attack.

 

We hung around until around noon to make sure Josh and Christi felt confident that we wouldn’t be needed. They managed to secure an appointment with a pediatrician for the afternoon. They assured us we would be kept in the loop, and we assured them that our car had a rubber band on the back bumper. They could tug it at any time and we would be on our way back again. After a quick stop at Whataburger for some lunch, we hit the road again.

 

Back in Galveston we heard the report of the pediatrician visit at four. They redid tests for Covid and flu and strep. All negative. The only response from AnnaGrace? She winced when they pressed on her tummy. Not a great sign. Now there is a CT scan scheduled for today. The doc did tell them that sometimes it takes as long as two weeks for appendicitis to completely show itself. Long haul. We are going to keep our suitcase close by …

 

Psalms 51:11-12 says, Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

 

Father, again we thank you for touching AnnaGrace with your healing power. Please continue. Amen.
