A Long Hard Night.

Needless to say, Gracie, Jason, Deanna, my Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, etc. had a long night. Gracie went back a third time to the operating room at around three. The term "third times a charm" I hope sticks in this family. They left her chest open, and she has lost quite a bit of blood. They are hoping she will rest and allow her body to heal itself. Jason and Deanna are finally going to go and get some sleep. This is extremely hard. There comes a point to where I have to ask "why?" Why does this little girl have to go through SOOO much, pushing her to where I feel a lot of people (much older mind you) would give up? Why do Jason and Deanna have to see their little one suffer so much? There is nothing worse than seeing your baby or child suffer. And it is that much more terrifying to see your little one soo sick, so weak, and just giving it all they've got. I'm not sure why this family has to go through so much literal heart ache. I can not remember signing up for this, or saying that we would be able to go through all of this. What a naive spirit I once had. Gone are thinking babies are all born perfect and healthy. Gone is thinking how easy a child is, and taking that child for granted. When you see someone you love suffer through so much, your heart breaks for them. I think there is a breaking point. I broke during Ryker's emergency stomach surgery. I snapped, right there in the middle of Primary's long hallway. Hysterical and just broken. I think that happened last night with Gracie's parents. It just becomes too much. So please, please, pray for Grace to rest and heal. Pray for Jason and Deanna to have peace and get the rest their body needs. Pray for the rest of the family to have peace and be able to do whatever we can to help.
