So I have been really stressed this last week.
My DD was sick with tonsillitis and I stayed home with her. It is so hard when they are little and don't feel good b/c all they do is whine and the only thing you can do is hold them and try. I hate seeing her in pain

Thank the Lord she is better now! But I am now offically out of sick time for the year at work. DH is going to have to pick up the slack if she gets sick anymore.
Work is crazy! We are going thru a 'restructering' and my department is going away. We are all being intergrated out to other departments so at lease we will still have a job and our pay will not change. The challange is that everything is being kept so hush hush and we have not been told when this is happening or what new departments we are being moved to
I have it on good faith that we are moving on WEDNESDAY of THIS WEEK!!! And this has not even been announsed yet! (I was told by my manager) I know I am going to the department I wanted so that is good but I am just stress with how little respect that my company has for its employees.
I am being retained for an extra week to train on my job function b/c my work is pretty specialized. I am sad to go. I really like my manager. She is such a good leader and a friend too.
The worsest news of all is that my cousins 5 year old son is been diagnosed with Leukemia

My heart just breaks for them!
My cousin took him to the doctors Wednesday b/c he had had a cold for 3 weeks and was not getting any better. The doctor keeps saying it is a sinus infection. Well she kept pushing for more tests b/c she knew something was not right and it turns out that he had a really low blood count (it's a 3). So now he is in the hospital and they have already started him on his 1st round of chemo.
The good news is he had a clear spinal tap so that means that there is no cancer in his spin. The doctors are very hopefully for him. They say 6 months of treatment and he should be in remisson but they will due a full 3 years to make sure the cancer does not come back.
I feel so bad for my cousin. She had her 1st baby at 17 but she was still born. She died just days before she was delievered b/c of the cord around her neck. And now her son, and only living child, has cancer. It seems so unfair. But she is so brave and is so strong!
I heard a great analogy this weekend that seems to fit with how my families life has been going lately:
God always walks beside you. But even as a parent you can be walking next to your child and they can trip and fall and there is nothing you can do to stop it. So your child looks to you, with trust, to make the pain stop and make it better. And as a parent with unconditional love you pick up your child and do what you can to make everything okay. That is what God does with us. We stumble along the way but He is always by our side to easy the pain and help us heal.
I had never heard Gods love described like that before. It helps to know we are not alone in our sarrows.
If you would, please pray for my cousins son and his family. Bless the doctors who are treating him and help them to make the right choices to make him well again. Thank you!
