Have you ever wanted something so badly that you crossed your fingers on both hands…and your toes? This was Olivia last night. She did not want to go to the hospital. She was praying her hardest prayers, crying out and asking me why God hasn’t been listening to her. I tried to explain what I have been taught about God and patience and how he doesn’t always answer our prayers when WE want. He has his reason and his timing and while we don’t always understand it, we have to trust Him.
It’s hard to say that AND believe that when there is the sweetest and most genuine 9 year old girl that is lying in bed with cancer.
Olivia received a blood and platelet transfusion. They will redraw labs this afternoon to revie where her counts and determine if anything more is needed. For now, she is sleeping as best she can with all the hospital noises and interruptions.
