Ben's visit to the hospital

It's amazing how brave my Benjamin is! He woke up with severe abdominal pain this morning. Never seen one of my children in that much pain. It reminded me of how I felt when I was in labor. After a trip to the doctor and hospital for ultrasound, X-ray and blood work we were exhausted. He slept for almost 4 hours and work up happy. The hardest part was seeing the sweet nurses try to draw blood from his little arms. The third time worked and they were able to get what they needed. He was so good and brave. I continue to be amazed at God's love for me. I was able to go through something that i never thought I could and keep it together. There is not much that is worse than watching your baby suffer! So thankful that he will be ok and seems to just be an inherited condition. I am also amazed that my parents were still here to help watch the kids while we tended to Ben. If the weather had been pretty yesterday they would not still be here to help. God is alway with me and he goes before me to work out the details and I am so thankful! Don't know what I would do without my Jesus!
