“There’s Always Something…”
Last August, our Crazy Siberian had a very scary seizure!
https://godssceneryandpromises.wordpress.com/2012/08/25/crisis-averted/
Thursday evening she had a second seizure!
We were all right there when it happened…
I was folding clothes..
She was in my son’s room…
I put his folded clothes away, and shut his bedroom door…
In a few moments, I heard her whimpering…
So I thought, “Oh, I shut the door, and now she wants to come out.”
I went back into my son’s room…
And she’s in the middle of floor, whimpering for no reason…
What’s wrong with her???
She gets up, comes towards me, and collapses…
And starts having a seizure!
We shout for my husband who’s watching TV…
He runs for the ice packs…
Barking his “police officer” commands…
I grab the medicine in the syringe we have ready on the kitchen counter…
Praying, “Jesus, Jesus, please help my precious little girl!”
I prayed hard!!
Thanking God we had the medicine on hand…
And knew to use ice packs to cool her down!
But it was so scary!!
Her eyes were unfocused, she was twitching, and so upset…
In about 20 minutes or so, she came out of it!
Praise God!
She wanted to go outside, where her bowels suddenly gave way…
Like last time when it happened on the tile floor in my dining room…
I cleaned it up that time, while my husband and son took her to the emergency vet clinic…
This time my son cleaned it up!
Like I said, “Good training!”
For when he has kids of his own!
We took her to the vet on Friday…
Her thyroid level is a little low, so she’ll be on medicine…
But, she’s fine, and back to her old crazy self!
Thank God!!
Good training for my son…
To pray and trust God!!
Amen!
And I had just been complaining about her fur all over my house…
Since it’s getting really hot in FL…
She was “blowing her coat” all over my house!!
My husband and son finally shaved her!!
“Little Puffs”
I call those nasty hair balls…
However, after this second seizure…
I certainly changed my tune!
Who cares about the “Puffs!”
I want my precious little girl to be healthy!!
Learn, son…
Learn, what’s important!
Then, two weeks ago…
I was home from work with a bad sinus infection…
My head was so stopped up…
I was breathing through my mouth…
It was about 7 pm…
I had just taken a nice warm shower to try to unclog my nostrils…
I settled down on the couch to watch a little TV with my hubby…
I was so tired…
I thought, “I should just go to bed now…”
When my husband calmly says to me…
“You need to take me to the Emergency Room…”
What?!?!
A retired cop never, never, never says that unless…
It IS an emergency!!
I can’t think, I throw on some clothes…
No time for make-up!!!!
Put a visor on my head…
Don’t want to scare anyone in the ER!
Grab the keys…
And GO!!!
I’m praying all the way!
At this point, I don’t even know what’s wrong with him…
I just know what it could be…
And it makes my stuffy nose seem rather insignificant!
On the way, he tells me his hands are tingling…
That his blood pressure has been way up for several days!!
Men…
Husbands, in particular…
Why?
Why?? Are you so stubborn????
Don’t answer that…
I’m stubborn, too!
Ha!
While I’m racing to the hospital, he’s on phone…
Calling our son…
Who had graduate class 45 minutes away from us…
Telling him how much he loves him…
And what a great kid he is…
And I’m just thinking…
Dear Jesus, what did I complain about today?
Concerning this man???
And what does that matter right now!?
I know I have Jesus on my side, in moments like this…
Who else is there to help me??
So I keep praying…
Holding hands with my husband…
And with Jesus!
Saying, “You’ll be alright!”
Well, we get to the ER, sign in, and WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An hour goes by…I don’t even have my Kindle with me…since we left the house in such a hurry…
I’m NEVER without my Kindle in “waiting” situations!!
I can’t get through “waiting” situations without something to read!
So, hubby tells me to go home, and he’ll call me when it’s time to pick him up…
Since there are seven families ahead of us…
We’ll be there all night, I know…
I’ve been this route with my Mom…
God Bless her, now in Heaven!
And it’s shift changing time at the hospital!
What does he want me to do ?!?!
Is he serious? How could I do that???
So I say, “No way!
I wouldn’t want you to leave me here!”
We sat there for an hour, only one person was called in…
And my impatient hubby had enough…
He asked the nurse when he was going to be seen…
She said, “Who knows?”
So, he told me he felt better now, and he insisted we leave!
I wanted him to promise to go to the doctor the next day…
But NO!
The next day, he went to WalMart to take his own blood pressure…
Praise God, it was lower by 30 points…
Well, I know there’s no Scripture in the Bible that says,”God takes care of fools…”
But I know God took care of him that night!
Because, I was sitting in that ER…
Silently praying…
And I felt God say, “He’s okay, He’s okay, He’s okay…
You don’t need to worry about this!
I will take care of him!”
Jesus tells me, “I’ll be by your side, whenever you call Me!”
VIDEO
Why are you crying?
Let Me lift up your face!
Why are you still searching?
As if I’m not enough?
To where will you go child?
Tell me where will you run?
To where will you run?
I’ll be by your side wherever you fall…
In the dead of night whenever you call…
Please don’t fight these hands that are holding you…
My hands are holding you…
Look at these hands at My side…
They swallowed the grave on that night…
When I drank the world’s sin…
So I could carry you in…
And give you life…
And I, I love you…
And I want you to know…
That I, I’ll love you…
I’ll never let you go…
Amen!
I believe Jesus has the best for us, so I pray for His best!
I don’t expect the worst to happen…
I expect His Best!
When, “There’s Always Something…”
You Need Someone Who’s Always By Your Side!
Trust!!!!
It’s Good Training for all of us!
Who’s By Your Side?
