We are back home, exhausted but thrilled. They were able to stop Jolie's seizures and bring down her temperature to near normal. They were intent on admitting her to the hospital here in Tucson, but her mother convinced them that this had happened before and that she could be released once her seizures stopped and she had recovered a bit of strength. She (and the rest of us) are either sleeping or headed that direction. Justin had intended to bring them to Vespers this evening, but after he gets a nap, he is headed to Phoenix to return this little cutie and her big sister to their mother.
Poor Terra doesn't get to go to the Bat Cave (Colossal Cave)this morning and her plan to serve me breakfast in bed for my birthday got thwarted. She was planning this big day for me (and for her :)) and is deeply disappointed, although she is happy her sister is okay. There is nothing like having paramedics parade into your house at 1:30 in the morning when you are playing host to an eight year old and a two year old you know only because Justin stood up and made a vow before God to be a surrogate spiritual father to a little baby girl years ago. Seeing his gentle care for Terra and Jolie reminds me of our Father's love for all his children. Jolie does not really speak understandably, but she points at Justin and says, "I." to which Justin responds, "love." and Jolie then claps and says, "you!" She then breaks out into a huge, beautiful smile. I want to play that game with God more.
Please pray for their safety as they return home today and that there would be no further episodes. |
