From a tough night to a sweet and peaceful evening

Ricki has had a few rough weeks with a headache that has just kept getting worse.  Over the weekend she became even more nauseous and wasn't eating. It is so hard to know what direction to take because well we sometimes feel like the boy who cried wolf because we take her to the doctor and there isn't anything they can do for Ricki.  After a long night with her head hurting and feeling sick she determined she wanted to go to the doctor. Of course her doctor was out of town so we ended up taking her to insta care.  The doctor and nurses there were so kind and sweet! They were able to contact our neurosurgeon and make a plan.  By evening her pain medication was working and we were able to enjoy a relaxing evening together.  We received several e-mails regarding Ricki from the doctors throughout the day.  It was a sweet reminder we are not alone and have wonderful doctors who care. It is hard sometimes to face the unknown but I am beginning to think one of the lessons I am to learn is to not worry what the future holds but cherish each day because every day is filled with sweet little miracles. Today's miracles....we enjoyed watching and giggling during the movie "Princess Bride" Other little miracles....sweet and caring nurses, wonderful doctors, the miracle of modern medicine, and especially the loving support of family, friends, and coworkers.
