Good night ladies!!!!
We are already in week 6 of the course and close to the end. I hope that everyone is gaining the knowledge in writing and grammar that will make us successful, in our back to school journey as adults. I have truly learned much and many doubts about grammar have been cleared for myself. I am more than happy that I took this class as I was doubtful.
Deciding on a topic for my research paper has been the most challenging aspect of the whole assignment for myself. I knew since the beginning that I wanted to research on a topic that dealt with education, but education as a whole is very complex and has so many areas to touch, what makes it so difficult to decide on a more narrow topic. I finally decided on my topic to be children's literature. I am looking forward to learning from my classmates and their perspective area of research.
I want to share that as of today Friday, I am in the hospital with my daughter, It is our third day and I am hoping we can go home tomorrow. Her father and I brought her into the emergency room for very hard breathing. After our arrival, we were rushed into a room as it was very evident how hard she was working to breathe. We got to the room and there were like 20 members of the medical staff already waiting for us. They had called for a "rapid response" for my 2-year-old. Medical staff began to take the action required to make her comfortable. She was admitted and given several breathing treatments along with 3 different medications but nothing was helping much. She was then taken to the intensive care unit. I was very scared, I did not understand how this all happened in a matter of hours. She was kept in the intensive care unit until today after by the grace of God she started to respond to the treatments and medication. Thank God she is way better and in a regular room. She still has oxygen support but at a low level, overall she is doing much better.
These past days have been very scary and challenging for me. Prior the days to this event I had been stress by little not so important things and I just felt in my heart that God spoke to me. I realize that I have been not grateful in some areas and even making big deals of little insignificant stuff. Today here in the hospital I am able to reflect on certain situations that have previously aroused and how I did not handle them correctly but instead, I was drowning in a glass of water. I was reminded that God is with me every single moment and that there is a purpose for everything!!!!

Guadalupe,
ReplyDeleteI am so relieved to hear that your daughter has responded to the breathing treatment, and the medication. That had to be a very nerve-racking situation. I know you’re a great mother and you most likely handled that with flying colors. God was with your daughter and your family! My daughter also had an ER trip this week; she broke her collarbone. I panicked a little, but held tight, as I knew she needed me to. I send you all my love and prayers, being in a situation where you can not stop your child’s pain is not an easy cross to bear.
As for your research topic, I think you will find a lot of good information that will help you in your college career, and future in education.
I am sorry to hear about your daughter, may God heal her fast. I was as well very scared but I wanted to remain calm for her, but when she got transfer to intensive care it was like a braking point to me. I prayed for her healing and I am very thankful that God was there with us.
DeleteGood Evening Guadalupe,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that your daughter was having breathing problems, as a mother, it must have been the scariest feeling ever. You know what the most beautiful part is of this tragic, your faith for God. We always must remember God is in control of everything and He is always by our sides. Sometimes we are face with roadblocks, and we tend to forget who we are in Christ. We must stop and praise the lord and be reminded that we are the daughters of the highest of all rulers, the king of kings. The one and only that will not leave us or forsake. He is always by our side; even when we don’t deserve it. I remembered when they were transporting my nephew to the hospital on the way to the hospital I was telling God,” I know you are here and you will not leave Xavier’s side.”
When some people in a large crowd asked Jesus to pray for their children, his followers rebuked them. (You can imagine them saying, “Go away. The master’s too busy.”) But Jesus responded, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Matthew 19:14, NIV).
Like I always remind my nice let God do his job, it’s HIS WILL not OURS!! It's difficult at times but not impossible with faith. May God rebuke anything that cause this problem and may he cast it away, and your daughter not have that issue again, in Jesus name Amen
Thankyou so much for your words Violeta, they mean a lot to me. Yes it was very scary, specially when she got transfer to intensive care because the medicine and breathing treatments were not helping. I was reminded that God was with me, I prayed and left my daughter on his hands and asking for healing. I am also glad that Xavier is doing much better, may God bless him!
ReplyDeleteGuadalupe,
ReplyDeleteI know how scary that is when you have a child that can't breathe. My daughter was severely asthmatic when she was a baby, and I spent three or four days around the clock at Little Company of Mary Hospital with her. I was so grateful for the doctors and the specialists who came in to give her breathing treatments which included something called "tapping." This was (basically) thumping her on the back where her lungs are to break up the mucus that wasn't allowing her to breathe freely. When our children are taken into the hospital--especially into Emergency or ICU, it's such a scary feeling--we want to switch places with them so they don't have to go through the pain. Sometimes being a mom is the hardest job on earth! I'm so happy that she is feeling better!
