We are so so sorry for all the trials you are facing with Samuel. We hope the doctors can resolve his problem soon. Sometimes I get so disgusted with them, but we need to have them. Our prayers continue to be with you and your family. The Lord promised that he would not give us more trials than we can handle, but I know we sometimes wonder and doubt this when we are going through them. Here is a poem that a friend of mine wrote. It is always a comfort to me when I face trials. I don't remember if I have sent it before. Forgive me if I have. When your daily load Seems heavy, And your burdens hard To bear, Just look toward your Savior, Feel His tender, loving Care. For to Him you are more Precious Than you’ll ever understand. Just relax and feel His Presence, Let Him take you by the hand. He can make your load seem lighter; He can brighten up your day. He will Make the pathway smoother As you travel on your way. For your Father and Creator Always sets some time apart For the Ones who dearly love Him. He’ll give Peace within each heart. © 1996 Nona Kelley Carver We love you, Sharon Dear Teresa and family.

When your daily load
Seems heavy,
And your burdens hard
To bear,
Just look toward your
Savior,
Feel His tender, loving
Care.
For to Him you are more
Precious
Than you’ll ever understand.
Just relax and feel His
Presence,
Let Him take you by the hand.
He can make your load seem lighter;
He can brighten up your day.
He will
Make the pathway smoother
As you travel on your way.
For your Father and Creator
Always sets some time apart
For the
Ones who dearly love Him.
He’ll give
Peace within each heart.

I am so sorry to hear of the week you and poor Samuel have had. Hopefully you and the neurologist can get a better medication for Samuel. I know our neuro suggested the Ketogenic diet and with Samuel being tube fed it would be quite easy for you. Just something to think about?? Hope things are better this week. Big hugs to Samuel.

I thought they would at least admit him to the hospital due his deyhdration or at least administer an IV fluid in the ER. It really bothers me that they seem to be so heartless when it comes to his cares. Is there anyone close by that can take turns helping you out? Your health is important,you need your rest too. Would a foam eggcrate placed on the sides of his crib help with reducing his injuries? Just an idea that came to mind. Hello Teresa,

I'm praying right now that God will continue to give you the strength that you desperately need to get through another day. I'm also praying for Samuel to get put on the right medication so that these seizures and fussiness will go away once and for all.

I know what that is like to deal with a sick child and they won't sleep and you don't know what's wrong or how to fix it. It's not only physically draining from no sleep but it's emotionally draining to watch your child suffer. More prayers for Samuel and his super mommy going up today! We love you.
