One minute you're told your little girl has a mild common disease that should soon go away on its own. Then two weeks later, you find yourself in the ER as she is undergoing emergency brain surgery for a massive spontaneous brain bleed. What!? What do you do now? How do you process this? How do you breathe when the doctors say she won't survive the night? Do you turn away from God in anger, fear, and frustration? Or do you turn to Him in desperation, hope, and fear?
There's no script on how to handle trauma. No playbook on the right way to deal with your child's pain and suffering. This journey was challenging, it seemed hopeless, and it was exhausting; but through it all, God never left me. I experienced how only He could take the very worst day of my life and turn it into a day I will be eternally grateful for.
