I have been reading a blog that I found of a two year old baby boy named Tripp who lives with a skin disorder that makes his body and internal organs blister and become raw. I can't even fathom the pain that this beautiful boy deals with 24/7. He cannot leave the house, let alone even stand up. His young mommy Courtney and her mother spend every single day rocking him in the rocker in the same position. He absolutely dreads getting his diaper changed and baths are so horrible for him that he needs a sedative to get through. His doctor believes that he doesn't have much time left on this Earth, his entire body is swollen. He can't even hold his best friend, a little plastic Elmo. His mommy has so much strength, faith in God and courage. The link to his blog is on the right side of my blog called "Praying 4 Tripp". Reading her blog puts so much into perspective for me. It makes me appreciate EVERY.SINGLE.MOMENT that I have with my son, good and bad. I always think of Tripp when I'm having a bad day because of being exhausted, and my attitude gets turned right back around. I pray that God gives him peace and comfort in any possible way, shape or form....
I started reading this Tripp's blog from your link a few weeks back. what an amazing mother and grandmother. such a sad sad situation. hoping that peace comes to that sweet boy.
ReplyDeleteI read it too and to be honest I found it too painful to follow along. I can't bear the thought of his suffering.
ReplyDeletePerhaps I should make myself read it :(
