“God Winks”

Written by Mardon Hickford. Posted in Mom's Blog

We’re still hanging at TCH. Jake’s fever hasn’t broken and likes to hedge up to the high 104’s when the meds begin to ware off. We don’t have a release day in sight and I’m tired of guessing, so I let go and will try and go with the flow (as best as this OCD personality will do). I have a necklace that says “Let Go, Let God”. That’s one of the hardest things to do, but those 4 words remind me that I have NO control here and it is His battle. NOW for some GOOD NEWS… last weekend during our first chemotherapy stay, one of our nurses (fave nurse, Monica) kept telling me about a little boy and his family that she wished we could meet. This little boy and Jake share the same diagnosis,

are the same age, and began their treatments with similar belligerence and strong will. At first I wasn’t sure whether to be offended or comforted by the last part, but I have thought about them all week and hoped we would meet them. On Friday, as Jake began to spike a fever, my dear friend Missy and I were texting. The conversation centered on Jake, that I was watching his fever,

the details were flying back and forth, my head spun with thoughts that this couldn’t possibly be the same family?? As I typed, “is his name Charlie?”, in came the text “and his name is Charlie”. My heart leapt from my chest! Tears were rolling! So many times we say “God is in the details” as we casually go through our day. Right then, in the midst of fear and uncertainty of getting my child back to the hospital God reached out and I felt Him… how much more detailed can you get? Today we connected by phone and I can’t wait to meet them in person. God brings people together in the strangest way and this new friendship is a treasured “God wink”, reminding me once more that He is in control.

Please add Charlie to your prayers with Jake. Two special little warriors battling and fighting hard!

    My heartfelt thanks to you Becah for talking to Missy so that I could meet Angela. I pray for the day when both boys are free and clear of this disease. And for them to play together. Hugs to you and God’s blessings!
