Tender Mercies

My lil bug has the stomach flu.  We were all supposed to go up to the other house (the home we bought in Orem) and work all day.  So I was alone with him all day and night.  I didn't sleep last night because he was throwing up and then barely slept today because he wanted to be held and rocked 95% of the time.  Well I started to get a fever and terrible body aches.  I was seriously terrified that I was coming down with it too.  Phoenix wouldn't be laid down to sleep at all this whole time he's been sick and as I bounced him in our room,  I begged Heavenly Father to put him to sleep so I could lay him down and get in the tub.  Well it was probably no more than 20 seconds that he stopped squirming and moaning and completely relaxed.  He was completely asleep and able to be laid down.  I was then able to take a bath, ease my body aches, and crawl in bed with him.  I'm SO grateful for that tender mercy and the many others I see in my life, (especially as a mom) daily!  Ps so far, no stomach flu for me!
