This Moment

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. Inspired by Soulemama.


Cheating today and adding some words. This isn't necessarily a moment I want to savor and  remember, but it was a moment of peace in a hard week. Finn was sick (and home from school) Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and when Phoebe was feverish and having trouble breathing Tuesday night I took her to urgent care on Wednesday morning to find out that she has pneumonia. Again. She had it in the same exact spot in December, leaving us a little bit concerned about a possible underlying cause. But, our main focus right now is getting everyone well and rested. It has been a week of naps and movies, staying in and letting things go. A week of adjusting, of patience, and of getting some rest whenever (and wherever) you can.

  2. When my daughter was diagnosed with pneumonia twice and bronchitis twice in one year it was determined she had asthma. Once on the asthma meds she was good to go!! Good luck finding out the cause!!

  8. Oh, so sorry for the sickness. Pneumonia can be seem so scary. But, with modern medicine, it's usually a quick heal.

    Maybe connect with a alternative medicine person (Chinese Doctor, naturopath, etc...) after she is on the mend to see if there is something that can be strengthened in her system.

    I've had a few things come up in my kids that I ventured out to "alternative" docs. One was a serious rash that top dermatologists and our family doc could not figure out! The person that figured it out for us actually "read" her body by intuition and after several months of the rash, she was healed in 2 days.

    Quite a different story from yours, just to illustrate, we can get answers from so many places.
