Our Climb: Nov 13, 2009

Do you know how long it has been since I have had a nap? Well, me neither! I was so looking forward to one today, when.......

Now, I really did think that I was gonna get to take a nap. It was 3:00 & everything that I needed to do for the day had already been done. Danny was home, playing on the computer. Hunter was done with all of his schoolwork & was playing the Wii. So I headed off to the bed. **Now, back to the phone ringing.**

Stacie: Hey, Tonya, do you think Danny will wanna bowl for Todd tonight? (Yes, this really was the 1st words she said to me.)

Tonya: Why, what's wrong?

Stacie: Well, Todd just had a seizure. Don't know how bad it is or if there is any injuries or not. I am on my way home now.

Tonya: Uuummmm..... well, I think we would rather be with ya'll, than bowl.

Stacie: Dad is calling I will call you right back.

A 15 second phone call.... just changed MY plans for the afternoon. You see, we didn't have ANY plans! For once, we were gonna do NOTHING! Now, today, I thought, I don't wanna sit at home & do nothing! I have been doing nothing all week. It's Friday & I wanna do something! But by 3:00p I had came to terms with the fact that we were not gonna do anything... & I was OK with that.

God had other plans!

I will tell you, this is NOT the 1st thing that went through my mind. All I could think about was.... what now?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Let's rewind a few years.... Todd has battled with seizures since he was a child. About 4 or 5 years ago, he had brain surgery to "fix" the problem. It helped somewhat. He was dealing with seizures on a daily basis... many, everyday! Today was the first one he has had in over 4 months! Praise the Lord!!!!!**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It really can be such a "scary" place to be. I have never had anyone in my life go through this, so I had no idea what to expect. Now, I know he has had them in the past & everything would be OK... but what is the damage? Does this "rewind" time? Does he have to go to the Dr? I was so worried & to think of what was going through Stacie's mind.... I can not imagine!

She calls back.....

Stacie: They are transporting him to the ER.

Tonya: In Gun Barrel?

Stacie: Yeah, I don't know what's going on. That's all I know.

Tonya: Ok, we are headed your way.

The rest of the evening was spent with them in the ER & then back at their house for dinner. Todd is OK. He looks as if he got into a fight with a baseball bat & lost, but Praise Jesus, there are not internal injuries! The upped his meds til he can get in with his Dr. & that's it. Please, add them to your prayer list. Todd, Stacie & Logan Bostic. Thank you!

I'll end with this... I love my friends. No matter who you are, where you are, how long it has been since we last seen each other or if we talk everyday.... I love you!
