The Itch

This will be quick... The itch is here.

She is very uncomfortable these days. She is up every hour at night rubbing her feet together, rubbing her face frantically back and forth, and squirming her body. She is on an antihistamine Hydroxyzine that was supposed to make her sleepy but it doesn't. The worst is in the evening and at night. Her little legs have scratches on the bottom from her toe nails. 

I am tired. She is tired. 


I just feel so bad for her... There just isn't enough rocking or bouncing to help. I just use my nails to scratch/tickle her little back and body throughout the night. 


If you are the praying kind: 
If you could just take a moment to pray over her body. Pray we get the right medicine to help her. Pray for rest. 

A great mentor through our Women's ministry gave me great advice that when you are so tired and you don't know what to pray and you can't even open your bible, you just say :

"Jesus I believe in you and I trust you. Amen"
