fear

C has this... abscessy THING on the back of her right earlobe next to her piercing. I just discovered it tonight. It is about the size of a pea, and it looks exactly like the pictures of the early stages of MRSA infection that are all over the Internet right now. We are planning to be on her pediatrician's doorstep when the office opens tomorrow. If they refuse to fit her in to the schedule, we'll be going to the ER. Please pray. Not just for her, and for accuracy in diagnosis, but for me, because I am simmering silently at a level just below total freakout right now and I know sleep won't come easy tonight.

I can't think of anything else to write. Just please God let this all be a huge overreaction on my part, that's all I ask.

I have NO idea why that showed up twice! But that's okay, it just means that every prayer I say count double, right? ;)

Just saw this and wanted to let you know I'll be praying too - RIGHT NOW since the whole time difference thing means you're probably getting ready to leave as I type this. Love you guys so much and am trusting God for a good report.

I'll pray that by the time you read this, you'll have good news.

Praying, although hopefully you already have an answer by now!

Praying right now, Rachel. And I'm off to look up the virus, because I hadn't heard of it before now.
