Yesterday and today we had visitors from West Lafayette, Indiana, and it was perfect timing. Monday night Val began having some intense headaches, and at about 4 PM that afternoon, Phoebe's eye began to fill up, as with an infection. We had a night of little sleep and two sick girls for Greg to take care of.
But, the next afternoon, our great friend Wendy, who Phoebe will grow up knowing as Aunt Wendy, and her 4 and a half year old daughter Yasemin, who calls us Aunt Val and Uncle Greg, came and made two difficult days much easier. They did laundry, cleaning, cooking, driving, bathed Phoebe and played with her and loved on her while Mommy was napping, and were great encouragements to us new parents. Plus, Greg and Yasemin had great fun playing Mr. Potato Head, one of Greg's favorite toys. Thank you, Wendy and Yasemin!
Thankfully, it turns out that Phoebe's eye is fine and is healing with some ointment, and Val is now receiving treatment for her head/neck/back issues and feeling relief. God continues to take care of us in different ways, and has reminded us that He is with us, also during the difficult times.
A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity. Proverbs 17:17 NAS
