Today started at 2:30am.
Gabriel woke up shaking and was hysterical over his tooth hurting. I had never seen him so upset and his tremors were so scary so I took him to the emergency room.
I was thinking a cavity, or an infection. I was worried they were going to think I was a horrible mother for letting a five year old have this horrible of a toothache...but it was still really strange that it came on this strong so suddenly.
Well, the doctor checked it out and noticed that his front bottom teeth were loose and asked him if he bumped his mouth on something--and apparently he did. Apparently his brother knocked him into a bookshelf earlier and he hit his mouth in a way that it knocked some teeth loose.
After the pain medicine kicked in, Gabriel became ecstatic at the fact that the tooth fairy would soon visit him and we got discharged. (All of this after I had already told Levi to drive home from Shreveport and meet me at the ER).
So then we all went home.
And this morning Alex and I went to market.
We went without 2 of our School Bus angels because the glue I tried this week didn't work. So all of the late night worry and work I put into them didn't even matter....
Tired and a little spacey, I made it through the market only to sell a few candles.
And then the candles started melting in the hot sun.
Luckily it wasn't anything that hurt the candles--but now I have to seriously rethink selling candles at the spring/summer market...and I have to figure out what to do with all the candles I have sitting on my table.
I mean, my school bus has never smelt better lol, but I don't have the room for all of these and I have invested some time and money into them. Maybe they will sell on Etsy?
I don't know--it has just been a frustrating day.
And my heart is also breaking a little bit because tonight is the last night that the fireworks show "Wishes" fires over the Magic Kingdom.
Normally, things like this would excite me because this would mean new and exciting things for Disney World--but "Wishes" was part of Elijah's memorial. This means it is another part of Elijah I am having to say goodbye to.
We have already said goodbye to the house we brought Elijah to from the hospital.
We have said goodbye to Florida, the last place he lived.
This is another goodbye that I knew was coming, but am not really ready for.
Anyways, today has been rough. I am just trying to hang in there.
Please say a prayer for Gabriel as he has been sleeping most of the day. I think he is still in a lot of pain and this is his little body's way of dealing with it.
I am going to eat something and then try and get some sleep.
May all your wishes come true. I love you all.
Please keep praying for our world. Pray for our country. Pray for my family. Pray for me. Pray for you! And always always pray for my sweet Elijah.
Thank you.
"I wish I may
I wish I might..."
