Please Pray for Hadassah

Hadassah has been having a very hard week emotionally & today was in the doctor's with 103 degree fever. They actually thought she should go to the hospital but because of Bob's recent death & her grandpa being hospitalized recently, her pediatrician tried to improvise & kept her at the office for 3 hours while they tried to get urine (couldn't) & blood (stuck her in both arms but couldn't find her veins because they are so small). They made us tea & covered her in a blanket while we tried to decide what to do. Her temp dropped to normal after she sweated profusely which all seemed good. Dr Sickle sent us home & asked me to get a urine sample at home & call in to update her over the weekend. But now Hadassah is in bed, feels feverish again, has a listlessness about her & is sleeping. I am exhausted on every level.

(Michael is having it out with God right now asking legitamate questions about why our lives are so hard right now. He's wondering if God is really there or is He just a fairy tale, Mom, is this some kind of a test like Graham Cooke talks about, the Bible says God won't abandon us but it feels like God doesn't like us anymore & has left us. He's just asking for a little happiness on our family.) Hadassah was afraid to see the doctor because she thought going to the DR would make her die. I need wisdom, emotional & physical strength for all 3 of us to get through this & so that I can make the right decision of whether to take her to the hospital or whether she'll be OK. The closest hospital is the one where Bobby passed away. I thank you all...Love, Mimi
