Taking nothing for granted

Yesterday did not go as planned.  I had planned to take the boys to the library and to Blue Bird Gap Farm.  A simple phone call changed everything. Just as Kevin left for work in the morning, I noticed that I had missed a call from the kids pediatrician. Her message said that it wasn't urgent but she did have some information that she needed to share with us. I immediately thought that it had something to do with Grayson's jaundice levels ( we took him in on Monday to get labs drawn because we were still concerned with his jaundice...the results came back that he was ok, but I thought that the doctor had found something else).  I called and had to leave a message.  I fretted all day.  Finally around 2, the phone call came. The doctor informed me that Grayson had had some routine blood tests done at birth and the test for cystic fibrosis came back with elevated numbers. WHAT! At the sound of that, I immediately started freaking out...I had no idea! She then told me that she conducted another test and those results just came back and the numbers were normal...THANK GOD! She had just wanted to let me know just in case something came up later on.  She said he had no symptoms (good weight gain, no diarrhea, no breathing problems).  I'm glad she chose not to share this info with us until there was good news to share, I would have just worried.  Needless to say, that one phone call shook me up. It could have gone much differently.  It reminded me how fortunate I am to have two healthy children.  I made a promise to myself that even when I am awoken at all hours of the night (and even those all nighter nights), I will be thankful that I have a healthy child who is able to wake me up...but that's not to say I am not looking forward to the days of sleeping through the night! :)
I am hopeful that today will go as planned but if it doesn't I'm sure there will be another lesson to be learned or reminded of.
