Rainbow Baby had a blister inside her mouth, it looked like an abscess so we headed to the dentist. I made the appointment yesterday, they fit her in today. It was not a bad abscess, it resulted from a baby tooth eroding and a permanent tooth pushing through. The treatment is a prescription mouth was that cost $4.00. The dentist co-pay was $8.00, so for our financially struggling family, it was a true blessing! GREAT news!
When we got to the car, I asked Rainbow Baby what Saints we needed to thank for praying for her. Her first response was a friend that died four years ago. He was 5 when he died, she had just turned 6. It took my breath away and then she said she asked the babies in heaven to pray for her too! Some days I feel like a complete failure as a Catholic parent. Today, was not one of them. I'm so glad she knows what to do when she is sick or worried. I hope and pray she and her older siblings always remember that we are never alone and that we have known and unknown saints praying for us.
