My heart

My heart can't take it, hearing that either of my children isn't feeling well. Tonight my daughter shared that she felt sick, headache, nausea, fogginess, but no fever. She took to her bed. She thought what she ate for lunch didn't agree with her. She says she's feeling a bit better now, but you know I will not sleep tonight. I will be awake all night praying that whatever touched her today, will have well and truly passed on through. I feel numb, just trying to get through the hours. Staying inside, praying everyone stays well. Of course the first thing I wanted to do when my child told me she wasn't feeling well was to go to her. It was visceral, the desire to hold and take care of her. I'm sorry I've been absent in comments on your blogs. I am reading but have no concentration to comment right now. My heart is in my throat tonight. It's going to be a long one. Here's a picture.  I'm holding her.

    I don't even know what to say. Odds are good that she's fine, will BE fine. But oh how I understand. Here's my hand.

    Oh my gosh. Scary, no doubt about it. But the fact that she doesn't have a fever is a HUGE plus, and she's young, which is definitely on her side no matter what. Keep us posted!
