She felt warm to me in the morning, but she went to school with a Tylenol in her tummy. However, by noon she was at my classroom doorway crying. Her arms and legs ached. She was dizzy and sick to her stomach. Her temp was at 102 F, but Jon had a class to teach and I had to finish up the day, so she got some more Tylenol.
This is the way the week began for Mattie Grace.
Mattie's temperature shot up to 105 for three days, dropping to 103 F with medicine every few hours. We were worried and called on many of you to begin praying. Our prayers have been answered. Yesterday (Friday), she began to perk up a bit and it dropped to 101. She ate for the first time in days and got out of bed. Today she was tired, but doing much better. Thank you so much for all your prayers and encouragment these last few days.
We are praying that she will regain her strength quickly and she won't have a relapse.
As we struggled through the week with little sleep, lots of concern, making it day to day with a bit of job reversal (Jon stayed home all week, nursing Mattie back to health), I thought often of how God's mercies are new every day...and this song played through my mind all week, especially this following verse:
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth.
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Great is Thy faithfulness,
Great is Thy faithfulness,
Morning by morning new mercies I see:
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!
