Oh gosh, just seeing this now. Prayers for your little guy and for you and your husband. Hardest part of having kids is seeing them hurting and I can imagine how hard it is for you guys to change the diaper. My wife always did nice warm baths and then let the baby air dry for as long as possible then a bit of cream that had zinc oxide in it. This breaks my heart, poor guy (and poor mom and dad)
Thank you. I'm trying my best not to be down but my kids being sick/suffering is just so awful. I'm offering it up for our bishops! At least maybe some good can come of it. The crazy thing is this is my baby I conceived at the end of a Sacred Heart novena where I asked for a child that would love God with his whole heart. After he was born, we consecrated him to the Sacred Heart, and our home too. Well, this sickness hit him bad, landing us in the ER with a fever of 104 on this past feast of the Sacred Heart. My husband felt a bit hurt by that coincidence, but I thought...maybe our little ones have something to offer God with their suffering, even at 1 year old. So I offer it for him. I'm always having to remind myself, when things seem awful and like they'll never end, they always do end eventually. And when things really pile on, like they have around here lately, something wonderful is usually around the corner. Please pray that the probiotics I started him on today help get the diarrhea under control!
Praying for the baby and your family! Hopefully the body will adjust to the meds, and the probiotics will kick in.
I'm so grateful for all of your prayers and advice! I'm breathing a sigh of relief tonight because the Triple Paste cream I've been applying all day to his bottom has protected it from all the diarrhea and it's almost completely healed! Now I'm just praying the probiotics do him some good.
It’s agonizing to go through this. But thank God the baby is getting better so the parents can relax a little I’ll keep praying
Rory I entered Lisa in the intercession book at the Monastery yesterday. Prayers ongoing for all of you.
What a lovely post. Praying to the Sacred Heart and then consecration that child to Him. What a blessing. Hold on in the midst of these difficulties. Keep trusting and going forward. In spite of these hardships looking back on my years with the children they were the most blessed and fruitful of my life. Praying for you and your little one--last night I prayed the Sacred Heart novena without knowing your connection to it! Now I read this. Gives me chills.
