Today was going well until we received some breathtaking news. You would think that Daddy leaving CJ's medicine at work in the refrigerator would be a blow enough, especially since Daddy would possibly have to drive back to Trenton for the second time in a day because CJ really needs it. However that was the least of our worries today. As we left the babysitter's house she asked to speak with Mommy. So CJ and Daddy proceeded to the car. When Mommy joined us Daddy asked if everything was OK? That is when Mommy dropped the bomb on us. She told Daddy that the babysitter just informed her that she would be moving to Atlanta at the end of the school year. This news crushes us as a family. CJ is comfortable with the sitter, Mommy and Daddy are comfortable, the sitter loves CJ and we were looking forward to CJ being with her until it was time to start school. Many thoughts go through Daddy's mind, the one thought that jumped out was how he wished Mommy was able to stay home. With that not being the situation Mommy and Daddy discussed some possible scenarios. The first, however, was to leave it in God's hands.
So as Daddy and Mommy sat awestruck, CJ sat in the back with a bad cough. Daddy was a bit concerned too. On the ride home Daddy called the pharmacy to see if they could give him two doses of the medicine CJ needed. They said they could not, but if the doctor called, they could refill the prescription. So then Daddy called the doctor's office and asked if they could make that call. They obliged, but the insurance company would not cover it, so Daddy had to pay out of pocket. No problem because what CJ needs, CJ gets. Now that would have changed if the out of pocket costs were more than a tank of gas. Daddy would have driven down to campus in Trenton and gotten the medicine.
So we still are in a bit of shock but God will send us another blessing and we will be OK. We just pray that the babysitter will be OK as well. So tonight as we pray, we pray for her. We know that prayer will change her situation. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.
