Today, I learned to be thankful for my children’s health.  Today, I spent 4 1/2 hours in the ER worrying about the health of Pumpkin.  The doctors did a CT scan to rule out a possible head injury (she had hit her head); it was normal.  I watched her little body in that CT scan.  It broke my heart seeing her there in that big machine.  Then I thought of the many mothers and fathers who are there with their children during their various medical tests, mothers and fathers of children who are chronically and sometimes terminally ill.  I am thankful that my Pumpkin is not seriously ill.  The doctors think she is most likely getting sick. 

I will say an extra prayer tonight for these sick children and their parents.  Theirs is a difficult cross to bear.
