The PAIN that only you can feel...

As I helplessly watch my baby cry and fuss through this stage of teething it pains my heart being unable to take her anguish away. To make matters worst, I think she has a cold. We've spent most of the night back and forth in the kitchen getting Tylenol and fluids. The nurse spent a lengthy time on the phone with me in the wee hours of the morning trying to soothe my nerves. It's hard not being overwhelmed by emotions watching your baby restless and uncomfortable. Her temperature has been dabbling between 102 and 101. I want to thank all my friends both near and far who have offered prayers, well wishes, or a word of encouragement.

This experience has led me to the title of this blog entry, 'the pain that only you can feel', I began to think of my mom. The indescribable pain I felt and still feels after her death. I began to this of people who are hurting in silence for one reason or another. Sometimes, you're the only one who knows the depth of the pain you're feeling whether it's emotional, physical, spiritual, or psychological. As I try my very best to soothe my sweet Brianna's pain with hugs, kisses, snuggles, and Tylenol I pray you'll find a medium to help soothe your silent pain.

Love and blessings
