The other night we packed up and left to go be with part of my family. For those of you who don't know my young niece Katelynn has gotten very ill from a flu bug and was taken to the children's hospital in Indianapolis. The flu bug has said to have gone viral, and is causing some serious reactions to her system. However, the same day she was admitted we had gotten 6 inches of snow up here in Wisconsin. My Mom and Brother were both very against our 7 hour journey to be with them. So we made it a little over an hour out, and this is where we decided to sit down, grab something to eat and really discuss our driving over there since we pretty much just rushed out the door as soon as we could.
We reluctantly turned back around and made it back home around midnight. She has seen a little improvement since she arrived to the ICU, her fever has gone down a couple degrees and she is looking better than she did when she arrived.
I just wish that I could be right where she is and just give her hug after hug.. Although even if I went she does have the flu so our visit wouldn't be as I would like it to be anyway. So I sent her a few gifts to let her know we were thinking of her, and she gave me a smile later when she tagged Aaron (my hubby) and I in a post of facebook saying "Thanks for the balloons and hello Kitty bear♥
kiss the girls for me! " .. Leave it to a pre-teen to be in the ICU and getting on facebook. Ohhh, I love that girl! I thought it might help me not to worry so hard if I wrote a blog this morning, we shall see.. Also, I have been thinking of these verses to help me in my worries

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" Proverbs 3:5
Although it is very hard not to worry and I am probably one of the worst worriers, I know the Lord is here spreading his calming love upon my entire family.
