(My baby girl had an in-school field trip today. Diamond Del's Mining.)
She had been looking forward to this "field trip" for weeks and today was the day! Diamond Del's Mining came to the school and taught them about rocks, minerals and gems. Then the students got to buy souvenirs from the collection. Mary brought home a bag full of stuff and a nice, new, beautiful necklace that her friend bought her so they'd have matching necklaces. I thought that was incredibly sweet. I am so happy that Mary has great friends like that. :)
Tonight, she is spending the night away with another friend of hers, Asia. This will be the second attempt. Last time didn't turn out too well. I woke up to my Mom telling me that Mary was on Facebook begging people to help her get in touch with me because she was in so much pain that she had been waking up crying in her sleep. I rushed to her friend's house at 2am and picked her up. Once I got her home, I gave her medicine and an ice pack and laid her down to sleep. She went right to sleep, but woke up still sore in the morning. So I am praying that tonight she will be ok. She took her medicine with her this time, just in case and she knows to take it easy on their stairs inside the house. So we shall see.
I wish she didn't have to worry about stuff like that. I wish she could just go back to being healthy and happy and carefree again. And yes, I am aware of how awful I sound because there are kids with much worse diseases out there. But this is my kid. And while my heart breaks for all of the children in the world who need help and need a cure, this kid is MY world. <3
Nights like tonight make me miss her terribly. Nights where she is away from me and I worry about how she's doing.
