*Update* Kalyna is now on a third antibiotic and it is staying down! Praise God! We are not out of the woods yet, but we are definitely on the right path. Thank you for your prayers. God has heard our petitions and calmed my fears.

Does your Faith get shaken? I find it hard to answer this question sometimes.
I have been through some pretty rough situations, and I have had my focus taken away from Christ, but to say that my Faith had been affected doesn't sound accurate. Even in my angry times, when I didn't understand why God had allowed things to occur, I didn't question His authority or His love for me. I think that was the only thing that got me through the painful periods of my life.
The one area I still struggle in is when my kids are affected. You can throw financial turmoil my way, and I'll flinch, but I know I'll come out just fine with God's help. You can throw stress into the mix of my life, and I'll depend on God to guide me through. When it comes to my children suffering....well, I just don't want that to be part of my lessons.
My youngest daughter, Kalyna, is suffering from pneumonia right now. She has tried 3 different antibiotics but cannot keep them down long enough to be of any help. She is not sleeping at night, and she's not eating much at all. Prayer has been a stable part of her treatment (seems to be the only thing I can do for her), and I'm feeling quite spiritually attacked through this experience.
I do trust that God has gone before us with this struggle, and that I will come out of this hardship with a much stronger Faith and a testament to His healing powers, but fear is something that is gripping my heart right now.
Please help me to lift Kalyna up in prayer as her little body fights this awful illness.
God Bless you all.

I'm sorry your little one is so sick.
I'll be praying for her.
Praying for her. Can they not give her a shot of antibiotics? When Tori had pneumonia the last time I took her into the Dr every day for like 4 days it seems like and they gave her shots of antibiotics (rocephin). It helped sooooo fast it was amazing. Praying for your faith as well. Have you had the elders pray over her? There's a Scripture for that, but not sure where it is just now.
Bestill, I'm hoping our Ped will advise the shot. He's not been too quick on the draw for my kids' needs...but we have a shortage, and I have to trust that God will move him to do what's best for Kalyna.
A prayer chain has begun through my Church. If we are admitted, we'll get a visit. Right now, I don't want to spread the illness.
Thanks for the prayers, ladies!
Guess what?????? I was just blogging and duh, it so applies to you and Kalyna and I wasn't thinking. JESUS is praying for you and for her. How cool is that? Praying that they get you in and do what the Lord wants them to.
Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died-more than that, who was raised to life- is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
