Day by day

Yesterday my daughter woke us, frantic and near tears.. She began to
pray; then asked me to pray for her. Today she tells me she asked me
because if she closed her eyes she'd have cried. She crawled between
us, burning hot, and said her tummy hurt. She flinched when I pressed
lightly on her abdomen. Her fever registered 102. A doctor visit,
and we were on our way to Childrens Hospital for an ultrasound. Not
appendicitis, after all. But they want to do a Cat Scan next week. A
cluster of lymph nodes was "enlarged". We are left with vague
inferences and gnawing worry.
