From Bad to Worse (with moments of grace …)

Just a quick update on my, ummm, challenging day.

THANK YOU for praying and for the kind emails/fb comments/blog comments. I truly appreciate it.

My day was certainly a challenging one to begin, but I had a lovely conversation with a friend mid-day, so that was great. But my dental work was excruciating and still is—plus, it’s now morphed into a throbbing, blinding, nauseating migraine. No fun. But the girls and I are getting through it. (Soph did our Bible reading tonight. 🙂 )

The most stressful part of my day is related to my sweet Golden, Lilikoi:

I’m just SO grateful that I followed my instincts and took her straight to the vet this morning. She did decline throughout the day and ended up even bleeding—so they’ve x-rayed things and run some tests and started her on I.V. antibiotics and fluids. But oh! I’m having a little PTSD flashback to the death of our first Golden (who went from perfectly healthy to gone in just a few days, with similar gastrointestinal symptoms).

Hopefully, Lili will be back with us in a few days. (The doctor said that she will be in the clinic at least for the next two to three days for sure.) And hopefully all will be well.

But no matter what, I know we’re OK. It’s actually been a very prayerful day for me—which is a HUGE grace. I truly credit our women’s study on “A Praying Life” for helping me so much in that area.

Must take care of a diapie for dear Eleanor now, so I’ll sign off and say g’nite.

God bless you!

Yours,
Tara B.

PS
I forgot to tell you that as soon as I walked (limped—in pain!) in the door tonight, I DROPPED A JUG OF JUICE and it EXPLODED into a teeny tiny ocean of sticky juice all over my kitchen. Yes. Truly. It’s just been one of those days.
