This Sunday we woke up early to head to Grace Lutheran Des Moines' 8:15 worship service. We got dressed and went to wake up our youngest, Sawyer (2). Upon waking him up we discovered a fever and severe cough. So out of the church clothes and off to the walk-in clinic. It turns out the strep he had developed a couple of weeks ago has not resolved itself and came back after he completed the first round of antibiotics. So we got some new antibiotics and returned home.
While it was sad to me to miss church, I was glad that I was able to go with my husband to take our sick child to the doctor on a Sunday morning. Something that previously I would have had to just leave up to him. Mom's feel good when they're caring for their kids, and usually guilty when someone else (even though they are wonderfully capable) are. I am learning to be grateful for this time off. So hopefully more updates on finding a church soon.
