Thankful today for a friendly and caring staff where I took our 7-year-old Elijah this morning. We picked up the grandchildren for a week's visit earlier in the week, just as Elijah was beginning to feel droopy, as he put it. After a few days, it was evident that something was going on besides droopiness. We were able to get him in to see a pediatrician today, where the flu was confirmed as well as a couple of accompanying ailments.
It's not a pleasant thing for a little fella to have to go to the doctor, much less to one he doesn't know. But Elijah said he liked the visit (and was glad he didn't have to get a shot!). The staff was very accommodating and kid-friendly, and the office decor was bright and happy.
So thankful for a good experience and for those who care enough to provide it. Today's visit was one of God's abundant blessings.
