WARNING!!! This post is not for people who have a weak stomach...I would suggest to stop reading now past this point...
Today was an especially long day and like any other day, I thought it would be like any typical day. I arrived to work ready to take Ty to and from preschool and to spend the day with dear Taylor. I took Ty to school who was fine when I dropped him off. Well, everything was going okay until I got a call from Ty's dad, Eric, that Ty is not acting like his typical self according to his teachers and that I needed to pick him up right away. Well, I rushed out of the house with little Taylor in tow. I arrived at the school to find Ty wrapped up in his blanket super tired.
I took Ty home and he told me that his stomach hurt. I gave him some tums and he slept for 2 hours and woke up with his stomach still hurting. I felt so bad for him, I asked him if I could pray for his stomach and he said yes...so we prayed. We believed God would heal him and He did...but not in the way that I expected.
After an hour, Ty was in real pain and I didn't know what to do so I text his mom asking for suggestions. She gave me a few suggestions and Ty didn't want to eat or do anything but be in his pjs so we headed to his room to change and it was after I put his pjs on...my worst fear came true...Ty stood there and said he felt like throwing up and before I could react...projectile vomit of Frosted Flakes and Craisins. Fortunately, he was facing away from me but I proceeded to lead him quickly to the bathroom where he threw up some more.
In my almost four years of watching the kids, I was fortunate to not have to deal with throw up which I prayed that I wouldn't have to deal with because I didn't know how I would deal with it myself. In fact, I feared what might happen and that I would get sick. Well, God's grace was all over it because I didn't throw up myself but was able to comfort Ty in his greatest time of need. After he got sick...he was fine...not only fine but 100% better and back to his normal self.
Praise the Lord for Ty's healing and although, I would rather that He didn't throw up, I happy that he is doing much better. I am so thankful that God covered me and that I have victoriously overcame one of my worst fears. Bummer is that I probably won't be eating Frosted Flakes or Craisins for awhile.

Thanks for the very vivid story! It something how God gives you grace to help those in need even when it is discusting. You somehow put yourself aside and the persons' needs in front. By the way, JJ threw up on Wes and I this week and all we could do is say "Poor Baby" and not "Poor us".
