My mom just found these pictures in her phone and sent them to me. Tonight, I have a headache, and when I have a headache now, I think of this day:
The day my kids "visited" me in the hospital through a window because I was in isolation (see Scot with the mask on?). Thank goodness you can't see me. I'm sure I looked pretty darn bad. I know for sure I was smiling- even thought I didn't feel like it AT ALL. But it was all I could do to reassure my kids I was fine.
To quote Scot, "Wow, those are some bad memories!"
Thanks to my mom, I have pictures of it! :)
I think I'm kind of glad to have them, although I do find them hard to look at because I remember so well how I felt that day on the other side of the glass not able to touch my kids and scared I was going to die without every being able to hug them and tell them how much I love them.
It reminds me how blessed I am to be here, and how fragile life is. How thankful I am for every. single. day. with my kids.
But, I'm thankful every day that the only "bad" thing left from the meningitis is just these two pictures.

I'm glad those two pictures are the only bad things left as well!!! I can only imagine how hard it must have been seeing your babies on the other side of that glass....
Oh my goodness! I still can't believe that happened to you! Talk about a rough re-entry!
Oh, I remember those days. Horrible. Like unbelievable horrible.
I have to say - as bad as those pictures are for you to see, seeing the care between your boys in the top picture is pretty darn sweet.
Ohhh, yes BAD memories indeed. And I too, am glad that those 2 photos are the only remaining evidence of that time. You gave us ALL quite a scare!
Glad that you are on THIS side of the glass now, and that you are treasuring every single moment God has given you to cuddle with those precious 'growing-up-so-fast' beautiful babies of yours! So much to be grateful for!!
I remember those days and how fervently we prayed for you and Scot and the kids. It was a scary time. Praise the one who is our Healer.
I am thankful also that these 2 pictures are the only evidence left of the most frightening time in your life. For me, as I took this photo, I was thankful that God had shown mercy and that you were home to be made well.
Gotta love the camera in your phone to capture moments that just happen:) It was telling to me, these 3 kids, of their love and concern for you.
Praise God indeed, that He is our Healer!
