When Ryan wakes up from his nap, he was so angry and start stractch his itchy skin so fiercely. I can't do anything to stop, tears welled up my eyes. He has never been this bad, the blister are big and watery.
I got Tony up from his nap to take our son to the ER. Despite the crying and begging, I have no other option, it's Sunday, I can't think of any better way to help my poor boy.
As soon as he enter the ER door, he is calm and quiet, this place is kinda familiar to us cuz we frequent ER quite a bit last September when I lost my unborn baby. The nurse saw him and feel bad for him. He was very good during the initial check, no crying or whatsoever. We were sent to a special waiting area due to the chicken-pop-like rashes may be contagious.
It's almost 4pm, I am now in this room with Ryan. The nurse gave him Benadryl to ease his itchiness. He is now playing with the Lego while waiting for on duty doctor to see him.
The doctor finally came at 6.30pm. After checking Ryan, he suggest to call the on duty pediatrcian to have an evaluation. We were told that if the pediatriacian not around they have to summon him to come in. So, that mean we are here waiting until someone show up, nothing we could do.
Finally, a female pwdiatrician came at 8pm. She examined Ryan. Unlike Ryan's pediatrician, I like her, she is very thorough, patient, and understandable. Above all, she listen, she gives you a chance to talk. Whereas Dr. Wong never listen and never give me a chance to talk! Pissed me off!
It's 8.50pm, I'm now sitting here waiting for the pharmacist to dispense Ryan's medicine. I'm tired and not feeling well all day, migraine and lost appetite. I guess restless nights have caused my immune system goes down. I will stay strong to help my baby get through this rough time.
May the Lord gain me strength and grace!

Get well soon, bao bao, Ali, you have to take good care of yourself too. I will put Ryan and Tony in my prayer list.
it's really heart-aching news from ryan. me and family will pray for him and ur family more desperately.
i remember the bible story of Hannah's Prayer: Hannah was a good woman who loved God. But she was sad, for she had no children. Each year, her husband took her to a place called Shiloh, where they worshiped God. And each year, Hannah prayed a special prayer that God would give her a child. One year, she prayed, "Dear God, if You will only give me a son, I will give him back to You, to serve You all his days." She prayed so hard her mouth moved, but no words came out. A priest asked if she was drunk. "No," she said. "I'm pouring my heart out to God."
"May you find favor in God's eyes," said the priest.
The following year, Hannah couldn't make the trip to Shiloh with her husband because God had answered her prayers. She had a new baby boy named Samuel!
When i was read the life study of book of Samuel, i was touched by the message:
"撒母耳的出身特別是在於他那尋求神的母親及其禱告。她的禱告是對神心願的回應。她的禱告是人與神行動的合作，為要完成神永遠的經綸。
我們不該再作形式上老舊的禱告，而該有回應神心願的禱告。這意思是說，我們在禱告中所說的，該是神正要說的，這樣的禱告乃是說出神的心願。哈拿的禱告就是這樣。神要得著一個撒母耳，但祂需要哈拿與祂合作，向神禱告說，『主阿，我需要一個男孩子。』這個禱告是非常屬人的，卻是為著神的經綸，與神的行動合作。"
when we said such prayer, God has no mean not answer our prayer. Praise Him!
Hope Ryan can get well very very soon!and meanwhile, hang in there!
