I'm going to take this weeks blog post (well, there will probably be more than this one this week) of talking about the retailers who carry our skin-loving goods, to talk about what is going on...right now.
See that sweet girl? Yep, she is sick. As most of you know, she has battled a blood disorder since 10 months old called Autoimmune Neutropenia. It is where an antibody has developed killing off her neutrophils, which are the part of the white blood cells that fight bacterial infections. Anytime, she gets a fever, we usually end up here. Children's National Medical Center of Northern Virginia.
Her entire existence almost has been hospitals and doctors, & the dreaded Neupogen injection. I must say, even for a nurse who has IV therapy certs, giving a shot to your own child does not come easy or get easier as time goes. Neupogen is her life saving medication and we are so thankful for modern medicine.
So, I write this from my phone as I am holding her. She is currently getting IV fluids and even though we were going to watch the movie Frozen, well...the battery on their portable DVD player died! Ummmm......We were looking forward to singing with Olaf, who happens to be my favorite character.
So, I say all that ^^^ to say this. Life is hard. For everyone. BUT, still provides some of the sweetest moments ever. And I am so thankful to be in the place I am at. As a wise woman once told me, "If you take the boulders & stones out of the brook, then the brook stops singing." So very true.
Because of you, I'm here, so tell me what you want to hear! And always remember:
We can't control the dirt that lands on us, but we can clean it with something beautiful.
