... CT scan and hives...

today, when my daughter went into the room to get her CT scan done, after she got her IV and needed me to hold her hand, being all scared of it... after we had been sitting waiting for a long time and we talked all about what this could mean... best case scenario... worst case scenario... she was very good about accepting me saying that we wouldn't worry until we knew for sure...
once  she had left  it was I who was worried about what this all could mean... I found myself getting really scared and sad... something had me worried.... the nurse when getting her to get the IV was a bit confused because our family doctor had only stated to look for kidney stones, which would not have required the dye, so no IV, the radiologist at the hospital then ordered the dye anyways according to the report from the Ultrasound... that scared me....
she came back not even ten minutes later and was not feeling well, hot, nauseous and itchy... hives showed up instantly ... her stomach hurt, helping her relax, the pain in her tummy did go away again, but the hives kept itching... the technician took us to the Emergency Department, to wait and see what was going to happen with the allergic reaction... IV needle still there in case medication would have to be administered...
an hour later I signed the paperwork stating that I was fully responsible if anything bad was going to happen to my daughter.. she was hungry, her hives were not as red or itchy anymore... so I decided it was time to leave the hospital... the 1 1/2 hours had become 3 1/2 hours... time to go...
when we got home and she was settled on the couch I went online and researched again all aspects of what this could mean...
since we heard about the mass God has been great ... I have had real peace, I still do, somewhat.
it will be good to get the results, one way or another, at least we will know what we are dealing with...
I know that the Lord is holding my little daughter in the palm of His hands... He will be with her, whatever the news we will get in two to three days will be....
I am not panicking, I am trying to rest in the Lord and trust Him....  He will never leave us or forsake us...
