Ultrasound

My life seems to run in circles, don't they say history is cyclic? This morning I took Ian back to the dr. to discuss what to do since he wouldn't do the CTscan. Apparently the only place I could have it done is at a hospital about 45 min. away and it would be treated like surgery, so it looks like we aren't going to have it done. They want me to take him back to the ENT. I also saw the allergist for myself since my sinus's have been driving me crazy. They want me to get a CTscan and blood work to test my immune system. Lastly, I took Ethan to get an ultrasound on his kidney's because the past few weeks he's been having problems with frequent urination. I also have been referred to a pediatric urologist which of course is located an hour away. I started crying this morning when I shared all this with my babysitter. I kept thinking that when Ian started school 3 days, I would be able to volunteer in some kind of ministry. This is something that has been on my heart to do for quite some time, I have little skills but I do know how to help those who are hurting and really feel compelled to do so. But since January it has been non-stop illnesses, doctors visits, and general craziness. Our sitter (who is our angel)told me that in the future it will become apparent why we have dealt with so many chronic illnesses in our family (she's convinced Ethan will be a doctor one day). So I keep reminding myself over and over that my ministry is to my family. I will catch on one day!
