A day for doctors

No one tells you when you have a baby about the worry and pain you sometimes face. First doctor was today. We took Molly back to have her hip checked on to see if we are looking at hip displaysia. Well after examination, the doc thought we should see a specialist, just to err on the side of caution. So Monday we will head out to the 2nd doctor to have little Molly's hips x-rayed and sonogramed. I would like to say I'm not worried, but there is a part of me that wishes we didn't have to do this... why couldn't this baby be as easy as Hope? Why do we have to face this little trial too? And then we have placed a call in for our other one, Claire, to the Mayo clinic for our 3rd doctor of the day. Looking at an appointment there in July or August---maybe some answers are just a couple of months away. Since starting this latest medicine, her seizures have increased from 2 a day to 4-6 a day--not fun watching your child have no control over her body and then completely wiped out from them afterward. Makes my heart break a little with each one her body endures. If I believe that God made us and formed us and loves us still.... and that we are created for his glory, then I have to believe that somehow this is for His glory.... but I sure cannot explain it. Why does it have to be so hard? And then for the 4th doctor, waiting on Claire's neurologist to call back and discuss this latest medicine change. We so need wisdom in the next step.....

"It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God-that is, our righteousness, holiness, and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: 'Let him who boasts boast in the Lord." 1 Cor 1:30-31
