Hi!
Today I’m sharing a
layout I made for the saddest day of our life’s as parents. Our daughter was sick at midnight and we took
her to the ER, there, the doctor did some blood tests and never came back
because he had a stroke (thankfully he survived and is doing great). At 6 am some
doctors came to the pediatric ER in the hospital and started attending other
patients with worst situation, my daughter appeared to be having a vomiting
virus and that was not a rush like other cases in the ER. Finally, a doctor came to us because she
recognized our daughter from school. She
was not supposed to attend her, it was another doctor who have her record, but
she asked for permission and started attending her. To make the long story short, she ordered a
CT Scan not matter everything was pointing to be a virus. The CT Scan was not made immediately because
our daughter was vomiting the contrast she needed in order for the radiologist
to perform the study. At the end, the
test was done around 12pm and at 3pm, the doctor's shift ended, but she called the radiologist to his personal phone because she needed that result
before leaving, and he asked for a few minutes to read the results. That was something she doesn't have to do,
but she wanted to do it before leaving.
He called her back and told her our daughter needed and emergency surgery because she was having
an appendicitis and it was already suppurating, which means it was pretty
rush. The doctor stay in the hospital,
and gave us the bad news and call the director of surgery of the hospital to
his personal phone. He was in the road but told her to
prepare everything because he was going to arrived in 15 minutes. Everything happened so fast, people started
coming to us with papers to be sign, then we were moved to the surgery floor, I
changed her clothes for the surgery ones and
then they asked us to say goodbye to her while they took her to the surgery. We were in shock, we didn't have time to
think, just to trust God and asked for him to be with her all the time and be
the surgeon. Everything went perfectly,
the doctor told us a few more minutes would have been a disaster because of the
suppuration. We are really thankful to
the ER doctor. Our daughter was not
having the common symptoms of appendicitis because hers was inverse, this was the reason why she was only having vomits and a little fever. The doctor said, something told her to do the
CT Scan no matter it was looking like a virus, and she follow her guts and
faith. Now, we think about all that and
understand God’s purpose. Maybe if
another doctor have taken her case, she would have been released with
medicine for a virus and the end would have not been the same. Sometimes we don’t understand why things
happen but we must trust God because He always have a reason.
To create this layout I
used the PhotoPlay Under the Weather papers and die cuts. This is a very
bright, colorful and cute collection. I like it because no matter this was a
very hard situation for us as parents, the end was a happy one and I don’t want
to remember it with sadness but with gratitude.
She is now with us thanks to that surgery and she is healthy and
enjoying life.
