I know how you feel Danny! I’ve been dealing with some health issues the last year or so, and have just had another attack that’s left me stuck in bed for over a week now, in intermittent pain. My SW daughter (9) has been sick last week (nothing severe) and now my husband is supposed to be going away tomorrow on TWO conference, back to back, that will have him gone for 10 days! We don’t have any family around - just our church family - so it’s hard planning for the "what ifs". If I end up having to take dd to the emergency or stay with her in the hosptial in the middle of the night, I must take ds (12) along too. My poor hubby doesn’t know what to do! The conferences are important, but he could get out of them if there was an emergency; I don’t feel good, but I’m certainly not as bad as I have been either. And this is not the first time we’ve had this circumstance! (kids love to get sick when Dad’s away!) So I can certainly feel your anxiety about the whole situation! All I can suggest is - as someone’s already mentioned - get your shopping done before Linda leaves, also pre-arrange with some family or friends that you could call in the night, what you would do in an emergency (have a plan!), and PRAY! God’s blessings! I’ll add your family to my prayer list!
