~ the patient ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sunday afternoon we had quite a scare

when our sweet Liv had a febrile (fever-induced) seizure.

Despite the seizure being terrifying for us,

it was harmless for Liv.

Two frightened parents,

two worried sisters,

one ambulance ride,

one dose of Valium,

one emergency room visit,

two get-well cards 

and four hours later,

~ cards made by sisters while Liv was in the ER, and her EKG "stickers" ~

we were home in our beds,

feeling much more grateful

for our beautiful children.

Especially our sweet, funny Liv.

In humility and awe of Life,
