Alarm

I heard a pastor this weekend give a sermon that talked about the difference between worry and alarm: Worry being chronic, alarm being the thing the propels you to action.

Well, on the morning we were supposed to go to my wife's neurology appointment followup, my daughter just decided to start screaming. Not a "I'm cranky, pay attention to me" scream, but a "my arm's being cut off" scream. We tried all the normal things to calm her down and distract her... but after an hour we took her to Urgent Care. Urgent Care had a two hour wait... makes me wonder why they call it "urgent care" and not "sometime when we get around to it" care.

We still have no idea what happened...she is better now... but life is full of "alarm."
