Yuck!!

Today was a day of hormonal emotions gone awry! I have had a very up and down day. A very good friend of mine got engaged last night and I am ecstatic for them. I got to hear the baby's heartbeat again today, 158 bpm. It was beautiful. I love love that sound. However, the rest of the day was challenging and exhausting. 

Brody has been sick for a few days. Yesterday he had a fever and has been sick with diarrhea. So he hasn't quite been himself. He seemed to be on the mend and the day went on. His spirits and energy level lifting. However, when I got home from my appt. I was ruffling his hair and I felt a bump. I looked to see what it was and he had a tick on him. I tried pulling it off and it would not come off. I read that you should grab a tweezers and get as close as you can to the skin and pull it off slowly. I tried this and this guy was really stuck to his head. I started to feel a little nervous about it. My MIL was here and was helping me hold Brody, when I tried again I didn't I ended up breaking the body off but the head remained. It was awful!! I tried a few more times to get the head out and this little bugger wasn't getting out. I had to take him into urgent care and Brody's adopted Grandma came with us. It was such a blessing to have someone there with me. It was an awful experience. The Dr. was unable to remove all the tick. It makes me sad to think that this thing is still in his head. The Doctor thought it was best to treat his as if he has Lymes Disease because he believes that the tick had probably been there for several days and Brody was most likely exposed. It's very unsettling. I would greatly appreciate your prayers that his body is protected from it and that the antibiotics will get rid of any trace of it. Also for me, I need to relax and breath. I really saw my hormones kick into high gear today. I took some things that happened very personally and was really hurt today by a couple of people and am so worried about Brody. I know I need to relax and give everything over to the Lord. OOOHHHHHH...... I love being emotional. Thanks for listening and for your prayers.
