His illness turns my routine upside down. It is one thing. Seeing your kids in pain and be not able to give them relief is a pain unexplainable. May God keep all the kids in His protection.

This is something we can releate to, child illnesses and doctors visits are very disruptive and stressful, especially as we are accustomed to settling illnesses ourselves, not being locked into "doctors orders" or playing political games. Getting a blood sample from one of our little ones would be a pretty intense experience.

We are pretty much done with illnesses and doctors visits (and bills). Staying healthy is more of a challenge these days, even with healthy practices and suppliments and self-care - sometimes we're at a loss for what to do.

What happened to the days when a good DR was on call, they'd visit with their equipment and big carpet bag and make problems go away? They'd happily receive cash, no bills, no monthly payments, no insurance.

The US used to have the best medical system in the world, but how quickly it's become corrupted by money and greed and social experimenting. It's a travesty.
