We finally got the call from the doctor's office today with the results of Hudson's bloodwork. Typically, to test for lead, they prick the finger and run the test in the office. And you have the results in a matter of minutes. But because his numbers from the fingerprick came back so high (18.9 to be exact), they drew blood to send to the lab per protocol. And then the waiting began...5 days of waaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiitttttttttiiiiiinnnnnnnggggggg.
And then the call comes, and the nurse says "Hi Mrs. Reed, everything is fine." WHAT?!?! His number is 2.5 which is within normal limits and no further treatment needed. How can that be? She says, well it's hard to say...it could be that there was too much alcohol left on his finger from where they wiped it before they stuck it, or there was too much air in the tube, or something else, there's really no way to know. But I know exactly what it is.
Ever heard that children's song that goes "My God is so BIG, so strong and so mighty; there's nothing my God cannot do"? We just experienced that first hand. And all I can do is cry right now at the sheer power of the one, true God who has healed my baby boy.
Some may say, oh it's just a coincidence. But not me. No such thing. I know the God I serve. He is omniscient, omnipotent, and sovereign over all. ALL.
And I will worship Him, because He is worthy to be praised. And praise Him for all of you who cried out to Him on our family's behalf, and brought Hudson before the throne to ask for healing. Thank you.
"Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness." Psalm 115:1
