My Savior Is Always With Me

I would like first to say that I prayed today for God to take away my husband's pain. He really has never been a "sick" person. The biggest event in his life since we've been married, as it will be 22 years Oct. 3rd, was a broken ankle until last year, 2008. As you know we have custody of our 7 year old granddaughter. She has a lot of emotional issues, so she has to be rocked to sleep every night. She's never ever has just gone to bed in her bedroom. We leave a bright night light on in her room and she still won't just go get in her bed and go to sleep at night. We rock her, smooth her hair and sing to her, after we read her a story of course and she falls asleep in my arms. Craig, my husband, would pick her up and carry her to bed each night. Well last year, 2008, it finally caught up with him. He was having horrible pains in his low side area and went to see his doctor. He was diagnosed with a hernia. He went in hospital, had surgery to repair it and did fine. Came home, went back to work and the pain sort of continued, but moved to the other side. He and his doctor thougth at first it was just the pain from having surgery, the pulling and all one experiences in adominal surgery. But 6 months after the first surgery for his hernia, he went back in hospital and he had another hernia on the other side. So needless to say, he went back into surgery to have the new hernia repaired. He did very well after the surgery, until this leg pain he's been having started. Now you're looking at a 49 year old guy that has been in excellent health all his life, no weight problems, no smoker and boom, it seems that all he is having now is health problems. The pain he was put into hospital with this past week has not let us any. He is still having it, really bad at times, but the pain never leaves. He is taking a lot of medication to help with pain, but it doesn't really do anything except put him asleep. That is good in itself, but when he wakes up, the pain is still bad. Please everyone pray that the leg pain goes away or at least lets up some. He can't see the neurologist until 28 April, which is a week away now. I guess if he were in hospital, they would work him in, but since he can't stay in hospital they give him the next "closest" appointment. Please pray that the pain will go away or at least let up a bit. I can tell he's in pain by the way he talks, or should I say sort of yells. I asked him tonight, as he was getting onto Austin for not eating supper. I asked him "are you in pain?" He said "yes, how do you know"? I told him, well for one thing, by the way your talking to people. I know he felt guilty, but when your in pain, as most of us know, you can't always be chearful. Austin went over to her "daddy", as she calls him now, "oh daddy, I love you and if I can kiss it and make it go away I would". What comes out of the mouths of babes! As we tell her when she gets a 'boo boo'', "we'll kiss it and make it better". I guess she was only trying to do the same thing. We explained to her that sometimes kissing doesn't always make pain go away. But if she prayed to God, that would help her "daddy', papa', so very much. She said her prayers and hoped that God could take "daddy's" pain away from his leg. We all prayed and she said she could hear the angels tell her that her 'daddy' will be better. It makes you wonder if little children do have a direct line to our Maker. I know I won't doubt what she says, but it always makes me wonder when she comes out with these little tid-bits, if indeed she can hear Him. But that is between her and God, and who are we to question it. I would appreciate it if you all would continue to pray for Craig and that his pain levels go down somewhat. Thank you all that have called him and prayed with him. He knows that his Savior is always with him.
Good night and will continue this tomorrow. Looks like I never heave time to write on here until very late or early in the morning time. But with continued prayers, we'll all feel better.
