hard for me not to imagine how directly linked or indirectly linked (but on some level linked)your precious d's illness is to the colossal screw ups that H continues to perpetuate in the life of his children as well as his wife.
It is clearly sad on a multitude of levels when I ponder just how ignorant his understanding of love is. And how that ignorance has and will continue to have deep, profound and impacting harsh emotional force on his kids who are in the prime of there formative years.
I am reminded of a book which I grew such an incredible fondness for a little while back. It taught me so very much me when I needed an ultra quick I.V of sorts in order to rapidly get up to speed on learning the proper care and loving of a young daughter to set her on the right and proper course for her entire life of emotions and relationships and all.
If you haven't heard of it and wanted to check it out. I am almost certain it is called ..Strong Fathers ... strong daughters (w/ probably a longer flowing title too) by Meg (and the last name alludes me by that should be plenty searchable as is.
So my buddy Dan, if you are reading then there you have it. It will enlighten you fully and completely as to the incredible harm that you are causing your kids. I am sure in a number of ways you are a very good parent but there are without a doubt very negative impressions that are being cast on these oh so incredibly impressionable children of God. Certain emotional traumas adhere to young ones for perhaps all of their lives. NOW is the time that you can choose to realize how awful a toll this is taking on them. They are innocent and have nowhere near the the capability to process any of this garbage that is happening and that they are encircled by. It is for the adults to act as such and in doing so a fair amount of the childrens innocence may be retained before it is too late.
I learned a ton from that book and "my child" was not even one of my own creation. SHe has since been displaced from my life but in the real brief time that she was in it I busted my butt to love her. When will you do it Dan. When are you gonna get it man. Now is when they need you. They need a Dad to show them the way and the way that they are being shown by you is going to leave them hurt. This just doesn't have to be.
I pray that you will set yourself on an entirely new course which will begin to remove the hurt while it is still in it's infancy.
Lord please bring comfort to all the members of this family as I sense how so very much it is needed. You are a God of peace and tranquility and of healing. As I know how these things are so dearly needed in all families so that they may know and have it enforced that you are forever present to act as the adhesive to repair and renew and refresh. Give them an awareness of what paths they need to be on to bring Jesus' love in all it's fullnes back into their family life. Once they know that love, they will need nothing more. Upon it's receipt and acceptance and furtherance by their actions they will rejoice in your name Lord.
I exalt your name Lord as I beseech you to begin the process of rebuilding love in their home. Come quickly Lord I pray.
If you would, please pray for my sweet DD16. I am unable to have any contact with her at all and am not even sure where she lives at these days let alone how she is. This has been like this for just over a year now and I must endure however long the Lord requires. Maybe when she ceases to be a minor, a window of oportunity will be opened by my great and merciful Lord. She has nor will she ever be "minor" to me. She added a fabric to my life that is tremendously missed right now
She has never really left me though. She is forever burrowed away in my heart.
you and the kids be well and have a peaceful day dear BBJ
prayers won't cease for D3 till that fever is disrupted and I sure hope that it may already be a thing of the past. If it get's Dan to come to his daughters aid then it will serve a good purpose and a finely crafted one by our Lord.
as you can see, a nerve was touched within me and I will be praying hard that we will be able to look back from some future time and be able to say that in the summer of '09 a nerve was touched in Dan and he firmly and surely decided to help himself and help his family to be at their best under God
T, keep praying that prayer, ok? My kids really need their dad. As soon as Sydney woke up and came in the living room, she said, "Daddy's gone! He must have went to get his jammies for our house..."
Well the doctor was 50/50 for us. Sydney had a throat culture, negative for strep. However she couldn't do a urine culture b/c she wouldn't/couldn't produce any urine. If she still hasn't gone to the bathroom by 5 pm, we have to go back in because that will be 8 hours...also if her fever gets back to 103 we have to go back.
As soon as we got home I gave her a spoon of Tylenol which she promptly threw up. Tried again with chewables and so far, so good. She ate 1/2 a breadstick for lunch which is an improvement, but only one sip of her lemonade. So she has had about 2 oz fluid today...
When she threws up, give her the med again ASAP. It takes 5 -8 minutes for the...vomit reflexes to come back (sorry, didnt know how to say that). That's what my doctor said it has worked. K
You have me very worried here. I'm glad she is under a doctor's care now. I know you are trying everything, so I won't make suggestions. Please keep us informed.
We might be up to 4 oz fluids for the day. Still no output of either kind, so if that doesn't change in the next 35 minutes we will go to the doctor. On the plus side, her temp is only 99.9
