~Davina Gabrielle~
This blog is a hard one to write and share. I am already in tears. About a month ago my family was put to a test. My baby girl Davina had began feeling sick from her tummy on a Wednesday night. I had been in Corpus Christi visiting family and friends, and kind of just taking some time for myself. Mike called me to let me know that Davina was vomiting a then began running a fever. Well on Thursday my brother and sis-in-law went to Corpus for other reasons, so I hitched a ride back with them. We arrived back home at around three in the morning. Mike and I decided to take Davina to the emergency room immediately. They told us very quickly that they thought it might be her appendix. She did end up having surgery later that morning, but by then her appendix had ruptured. It was the scariest news ever for me. I felt like I was in a horrible nightmare as I listened to all that the surgeon was telling us about the damage that the ruptured appendix had caused. Then we were told we could see Davina in the Recovery room. My heart sunk and nothing could’ve prepared me for seeing my little girl the way I did. She had tubes in her mouth and nose, and she never responded to us. She opened her eyes and looked at us but didn’t react. That was so difficult, I can’t even put it in words. The next few days were very hard for her. Thankfully the pain was minimal because of the medication they were giving her. But she got better day after day. By the time we knew it, Davina was being her bossy little self. I wouldn’t want it any other way. I am so grateful to everyone that prayed for her, and I know she had tons of people holding her up in their prayers. Thank you to all of you. And the doctors and nurses were so awesome. They made this difficult situation as easy as they possibly could.
Again all I can say is Thank you to everyone for your prayers.
Til we meet again
