First E.R. Trip

I spent the day in the ER with Sadie.  Not exactly what any of us had planned for our day after Christmas. 

Sadie was dehydrated.  We couldn't get her to drink and she wasn't peeing, so a call to the doctor, and we're heading into the ER. 

I knew this day would come, and I learned a lot on this first time around.  (For example, pack food.  It could be a lot longer than expected.)  I also learned inspiration will come as to who to call to watch the boys.  I am learning to ask for help and to rely on others.  And I can't tell you how thankful I am for friends willing to help us out.

Sadie is going to be fine.  The next two years will be rough, but she'll come out okay.  Andrew, I'm worried about.  He thinks I'm sending him away every time I take Sadie in.  He doesn't understand why he can't come too.  I could use some advice and inspiration here.

But we did it.  We survived our first emergency trip to the E.R.  Thank you Jarvis family!

:(. Glad Sadie came out okay. We hate the ER (I think everyone does) so we understand when you say "we survived".

Angela, the inspiration will come! How near and close you are to the Spirit to recognize that is where the inspiration will come from!! I sure love you and I love your testimony.
Lots of hugs!
