In Everything Give Thanks

A bit of a scare yesterday. Melissa called, she had not been feeling well for a couple days, unable to keep even fluids down. She got an earlier appointment and they discovered a nasty kidney infection and dehydration. She was admitted to the hospital yesterday and as of this morning had gone through 3 bags of IV with still very concentrated output-so she was definitely low. They had a hard time getting the veins to not collapse and so she has several holes to show for it. Apparently she has a hard time remembering or thinking to drink water. She said she felt better this morning, has not thrown up(but they've been giving her some nausea meds) and they gave her something for sleep which helped tremendously. They may keep her one more day. She told me that the doctor has scheduled the inducement for the 20th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had thought the 23rd...for some reason those three little days seem to have turned this whole thing into warp speed for me! We'll likely travel on my birthday-imagine being a new mom again at 45(I can't!)

Thank you Lord for your healing hand on Melissa and Molly, thank you for time...even if at warp speed.
