My Amazing Faithful Boy

I am so blessed to have such amazing kids and tonight I was shown that again. Tyson woke up not feeling well this morning having pain in a certain area. After a few hours of the pain not going away I decided to take him to Primary Children's. Once there the doctors came to examine him which caused a lot of pain. It is so hard to see my kids in pain and yet I am so glad that I can be with them to try and lessen it the best I can. After they had finished the exam it was determined he would need an ultrasound which got him very scared and upset.
As we were waiting to have him taken to ultrasound Tyson asked me to say a prayer, so I humbly did as my sweet son asked. Tyson cried the entire way to ultrasound and then became combative and crying out of control because he was so scared and did not want to be touched again. The nurse had to give him medication to calm him down so that the procedure could be complete.
 
Once we were back at the room Tyson was pretty loopy and a commercial came on about hero's. After the commercial was over he said "mom, do you know who my hero is?" I said no and that is when he pointed up. I waited for a minute and he said, "Heavenly Father is my hero." He then went on to tell me that he helped take the pain away without
needing to have surgery. Before I could say anything he folded his arms and said the sweetest little prayer. He thanked his Heavenly Father for taking the pain away and said
that he hoped he didn't have to come here again but if he did he
 knew that his pain would be taken away again.
 
I am simply amazed at the strength my 7-year-old boy can have and also that he knows
Heavenly Father is there for him whenever he needs him.
Tyson is such a great example to me and I am so grateful that I am his mother.
