Lucky Number 7

So as you probably know we've had an exciting few days in the Bambas clan. I think we're all firm believers that excitement is overrated at this point. To give you a quick recap in case you missed it: thursday I had a bad reaction in the car but avoided an epi-pen. Friday night I had a terrible reaction and had to be transported to the ER via ambulance. Saturday I had a bad reaction and needed an epi-pen but avoided the ER. Sunday was all Alex. He was bitten by a dog and had to get 13 stitches in his chin. They were mostly just below his lip inside and out. Before anyone freaks out it WASN'T riddick who did the biting. Add in an almost car accident with Karen on Friday and one with Alex on Monday. Also our car battery died and had to be replaced last week. When it rains it really, really pours around here.

All of that excitement aside I wanted to take note of something. Friday night was the 7th time since April that I've gone into full blown anaphylactic shock. This was the 7th time that I ended up in the ER or admitted to the hospital for a severe allergic reaction. I personally think there's something pretty remarkable about my lucky number 7, I'm still kicking. While it's been a trying time there have been numerous silver linings in the clouds. Here are five of my silver linings that make getting through the rough patches possible. If you're struggling through your own rough patch hopefully these will bring a smile to your day!

Silver Linings
1. I haven't died!



   

2. I have an amazing family.


3. I have some incredible friends. Tay-Tay, Mady, Krystal, Cammie and many others who are just awesome.




4. I have a wonderful husband!

5. I have the gospel of Jesus Christ.
