Emergency Room and Thanksgiving

We are relieved that the accident was not more serious. The car that Patience and her babysitter were using was totaled. However, both Joy and Patience were ok. Patience, however, had a very tender spot on her head that wouldn't go away. Grandparents advised us to take her to the ER. Jennie wouldn't have slept otherwise. We just didn't know what to think of tenderness without swelling.

Yesterday (the accident was Monday night), Patience's doctor suggested that we try Motrin instead of Tylenol. Finally, that evening her headache started to go away.

We are just so grateful to the Lord for His hand of protection on Patience and Joy. Jennie and I were in Chicago at the time and we had a long drive back. On our way, we contemplated on how quickly life can change, how fragile it is, and how vulnerable we are. It is one of those moments that humbles us and makes us grateful.
