one day at a time...that's how we're facing life at the moment. knee deep in doctor visits to try and figure out what this deep, open sore that won't heal on baby ryder is - and with each new ointment or antibiotic, we are hoping for signs of healing. thankfully, the wound seems to be staying local and doesn't seem to cause him much pain despite how angry it looks, but the feeling of helplessness is difficult and stressful. with any illness where you are in limbo as to what is really happening and what will be the one action that begins the healing - it is the limbo which proves most challenging, and this is where we are.
and as much as you want your love as a parent to blanket and heal all of life's wounds, sometimes it simply cannot. and i am finding this to be the hardest part.
