He was severely dehydrated and had to get a drip in. I wrote about that same thing if holding him down so the doctor could get the drip in. Because of the severity of the dehydration, they weren't able to get the drip in and it took many picks and many twars. I really felt like I was betraying him. He is 13 now and knows all about how hard I found it.

It was very comforting and encouraging. On a side note, I was wondering if the doctor waited long enough for the painkiller to take effect (or affect?) before stitching the lip. Or your child could've just been freaked out and scared by the whole procedure, which is understandable. <br />Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173616693453942166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-26335129122082534612013-10-22T15:25:51.882-07:002013-10-22T15:25:51.882-07:00AJL, God will be waiting for you to come back.

I don't care what kind of reward a person gets for suffering in heaven, it is WRONG to do it on purpose. Only God can allow something and wish it if he is all knowing. I definitely believe in the beginning of this video, but I do not agree with his conclusions. <br /><br />http://catholicismontherocks.blogspot.com/ajlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16414625377277726151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-4858452224403628662013-10-22T08:29:29.316-07:002013-10-22T08:29:29.316-07:00And captcrisis... even if you are using it to avoi...And captcrisis... even if you are using it to avoid for a season, that is not wrong, nor is it "contraception." Contraception prevents conception occurring from a particular act of sex by blocking (or even destroying) the woman's or man's fertility. <br /><br />With NFP, the couple is exercising self-control (a virtue) to say, "Well, we have so much respect for sex's design, that if we aren't ready for a baby, we will temporarily avoid sex." So there's no active thwarting of conception, just a decision to be intimate later (and even when having intimacy during a non-fertile phase on the chart, the couple is still being open - sometimes pregnancy does occur anyway - and embracing God's design for the couple's fertility - after all, God did give couples days and even seasons of natural infertility). .

I knew one for whom it was prescribed to make her periods regular. This would have presented a problem if she tried to get pregnant -- for that purpose, NFP would have been useless to her.
