A PRAYER HEARD.....

After a father's priesthood blessing, a prayer from a child and a pleading of a prayer to a loving Heavenly Father from a mother, kaia was finally able to go to sleep last night.

She has been fighting a cold for the last week or so with significant ear pain the last two days. Two nights ago she woke in the middle of the night crying in so much pain. Some motrin was given and she went back to sleep. But last night motrin was given, tylenol was given and the pain was not going away. She was still two hours away from getting any more pain relief through medicine and she was up crying at 1:00 am because she couldn't sleep. I nudged Dave and suggested a father's blessing. He lovingly placed his hands on her head and blessed her with comfort and peace and a good nights sleep through the prayer he offered.

I then told Kaia that she herself should offer a small prayer letting Heavenly Father know that she had faith in Him and the blessing she just received.

I then got on my knees, curled up in bed and pleaded with Heavenly Father to hear her little prayer, to offer her relief from her pain, and to allow her some sleep {which would allow us all some sleep} all while increasing her testimony in prayer, faith and Him.

With no further medication, Kaia slept on the floor besides my bed, wrapped in warm fluffy down, until 8:30 am this morning. Our prayers were answered and she came to me this morning and said Heavenly Father heard hers too!
