What could be worse than watching my baby girl struggle to breathe in the hospital.

My baby girl is currently in the hospital with pneumonia. It was hard knowing that her life is out of my hands. I am finding out I can’t control the world. The Lord God teaches his children all the time. I know that all healing comes through him and by him. Thank you Heavenly Father for teaching me this lesson. Thank you for giving my baby girl strength to heal. For now I know that there are no easy quick fixes, but long and lasting solutions in this life.

Ibex Rocks on iBook G4. The Broadcom wireless card works with the B43 linux drivers automatically. Better than hardy. I have one more laptop that needs to be upgrade. The old Thinkpad, old reliable. I will try that next week.
