Thankful for Priesthood Blessings.

Today has been an eventful day, Brody woke up this morning at 1am. He was crying and when I took him out of his crib he was burning up. I gave him Motrin right away, and just rocked him back to sleep. He woke up almost every hour whimpering in his sleep as I held him. I held him all morning until it was time for me to go to work. I felt that today I needed to stay home and be a mother. I called into work and got an appointment. Thank goodness I work at a pediatrician's office. We headed down to the doctor's office, but first I dropped off my other two kids at my friend Amy's house. I am so grateful for friends that are willing to help my family when things come up.
After being checked out Brody had no ear infections, or strep. But the Doctor was worried because his heart was racing super fast. He also looked pale and was pretty lethargic looking. They sent us off to the lab to have some blood work done and a urine test. I was so scared to take my 10 month old to have blood drawn. I held him tight and watched as they poked him as he screamed. His fever would not break and he only wanted to be held even when he would sleep. I was so nervous awaiting the lab work results. My friend Amy suggested that I have Brody get a blessing. Matt came home earlier today and my friends husband Kaleb was home today, so it worked out perfect. They were over to my house sooner then I knew it ready to help Matt with the blessing. I am so thankful that I have the priesthood in my home. Brody was not his self today and that made me feel sad. This evening Brody's fever came down and he started to play and crawl around. I know my father in heaven hears and answers my prayers. I know that priesthood blessings are real and that they are here to benefit us and our families whenever we need them. I want to thank my husband and Kaleb for giving Brody a blessing. I am grateful for the gospel in my life as well as my families life.
