My ON TIME GOD

Actually written in the first person because it is copied from Mama's other blog


I want to tell you just how GOOD GOD is. I am posting this on all THREE of my blogs.

Yesterday Crown Prince Monkey Butt was VERY sick when he got up. I just knew something was wrong. He wouldn't eat. He said his stomach hurt, but since Crown Prince Bryonicle had a bug the other day....I thought my feelings must be wrong. He wanted to go to school so I let him even though he didn't eat.

By 9:30 he called me from school crying. I talked to the secretary (because who needs a school nurse) and she said Monkey Butt was doubled over crying it hurt so much.

I left work...and who knew that a 2004 Buick could REALLY do 110 MPH? Anyway - I prayed all the way. I asked God to touch my baby. He had complained it was the right side of his belly down in the lower quadrant. I called my pastor's wife to pray. I texted (not while driving) to ask friends that I knew could touch God to pray.

I made it back to Noble in less than 30 minutes. I work almost in Edmond. I ran INTO the school and found him laying on the floor in the nurse's room. My grandmother was a nurse so I did to him what she did to me what I was about 12 when she thought it might be my appendix. I did the leg test and the rapid push test (no that's not the medical term...). Both made the pain unbearable for him.

So he got his first ride in an ambulance.... His oxygen levels varied between 81 and 90 and his pulse was very high. The paramedic (that we kind of know because Monkey Butt goes to school with his son) was concerned that it might be appendicitis before I said that I thought it might be that.

The doctor came in almost immediately after they started an IV and started asking questions...did he feel hungry today, where's the pain, did the pushing around...and by this time the pain was also around his belly button. The doctor said he was sure it was his appendix, but let's run a CT scan to be sure. Mind you, this whole time...God's people were praying. They gave Monkey Butt morphine (which made America's Funniest Home Videos even FUNNIER for him) and the delicious iodine laced Crystal Light.

Before we even went back to for the CT he turned to me and said, "Mama - I'm hungry." We (Nana Beachy, Almost Prince Charming, the nurse, and I) joked about it probably just being the drugs taking the pain away.

After the CT we had to wait almost three hours for the results. I've never watched so many episodes of Garfield in my life. The CT scan came back clean and there was no infection in his blood work. His official diagnosis from the ER was abdominal pain, but my official diagnosis was a problem with an appendix that was fixed by the Great Physician. Sorry - but you don't go in with so many people and so many different things showing a problem with an appendix and then, after much prayer, have a doctor tell you they can't see anything.

We serve an ON TIME, MERCIFUL, and LOVING GOD. I am so thankful that He touched my baby.

Monkey Butt is still home today recovering from his ordeal, but God touched Him. There's NO doubt about it.
