So, so proud...and surprised!

My mom and I took Jordan to Scottish Rite today for a pH probe.  This is a test that involves inserting a tube into his nose and down his throat to test the acidity of his stomach.  We had to bring him home with the tube still in and keep it there until tomorrow morning when we go back to have it removed.  Needless to say, I was NOT looking forward to this at all.  For one thing, I knew it would be painful for him.  I also know how strong-willed my child is.  And how hyperactive.  I had imagined all sorts of horrible scenarios-- Jordan pulling the tube out, Jordan screaming in pain all day and night.  

Turns out, I was surprised.  

Of course, he screamed and cried when the nurse inserted the tube.  And he did manage to pull it out a little bit.  But, after we got it put back in place and he calmed down, he was great.  And he continued to be great as we left the hospital, on the drive home, and for the rest of the day.  Wow!  God really heard the prayers of His people! 

Its after 9:00 now, and Jordan's asleep...with the tube still in!  It didn't slow him down one bit.  He's done everything he normally does- ridden his tricycle, played out side, you name it.  All without a complaint.  Now, I only hope the results of this test gives us some insight to the mystery of the blue lips.
