a trip
to the hospital.
Avery had to go to Phoenix Children's hospital last week for some tests. Nothing overly serious but it was still a nerve racking experience.
After it was over Mr. Bailey asked me how I was doing.
My response was "exhausted".
I had been praying all the way there for little A but the second we hit foot on the campus my prayers shifted. Every turn you made, every glance at another family you took you realized that there were people there that do this everyday of their life. That there were kids there with a true sense of pain and sadness. It was overwhelming!
I have visited this particular hospital plenty to pray for kids and families in our ministry but I was not a parent then. I feel like now I have a whole new understanding of how much you as a parent physically hurt for your children.
My heart simply felt as if it ached for the hours we were there. Our results came back normal. We are thankful!
But, a better understanding and sympathy will be extended to families that must make that hospital their home. My prayers for strength go out to you.
A few pictures from our day.
