I'm happy to report we had NO NIGHTMARES last night! Praise God! But Kennedy did talk A LOT during her sleep and Jeremy caught her sitting straight up in bed (but sleeping) when he got home from work last night. lol But she can sleep-talk or sleepwalk for all I care as long as she doesn't wake up screaming like she's being murdered. It's NOT a good way for any of us to wake up in this household!
Yesterday and today Kennedy has had a serious case of the hiccups! And what do you know.... that's a side effect of the new medicine. She's getting really frustrated and keeps telling me she "never" going to get rid of them. I certainly hope this passes because she's getting really frustrated that she can't say what she wants to say because of her hiccups. (And quite frankly, I am miserable when I have them so I feel her pain.)
Today Kennedy was able to catch up on her sleep. She had to be sleep deprived Monday for her testing and didn't take a nap that day. She's napped every day since and is finally starting to feel better I think. She was seriously funny today! Some of the things that she said and did just made me full of happiness with God's grace! It was the best day that we've had in a long time! She is such a little blessing to our family and I'm
I've had a lot of people tell me they are sorry for what Kennedy's going through and I am grateful for that-- but it doesn't make things any easier. But we all have our own cross to bear and this is our family's battle. A few months ago I was listening to Way-FM and there was a man that called in thanking the station for being a big comfort after the death of his young son in an accident. The father said he had been angry at God with taking this sweet little boy away and couldn't understand why God couldn't just prevent the accident from occurring--but then he realized that God has that power (just like he could have taken away the circumstances surrounding His Son's death), but there was a greater purpose in the tragedy because it made this family lean on God for comfort when no one else knew quite what to say. I see how many people simply adore and love my sweet girl and I know she has a big purpose in this world! There is a blessing somewhere in all this mess and I know one day I will see it all so clearly.
And while of course, I would give anything if these seizures would stop for good and Kennedy's body was healed, I'll cling tightly to my Rock and know that He goes with us in this journey.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken. Psalm 62:2
Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you." Deuteronomy 31:8
Until next time......
