Week 40 - Health { Jackson, MS Photographer }

This week on The Bloom Forum, the theme is health. This week the health thing hits way to close to home. First of all, my son has been sick this week with that nasty fever virus. Hopefully, he will be better in a few days. But one of my very best friend's baby has been in the hospital for the past couple of weeks. He had intestinal surgery last Monday and Thursday. He has had quite the complications with these surgeries and still needs our prayers. God has blessed all of us with Carter and I believe He will heal him. He is being treated in the hospital pictured below. It has been his home away from home twice now. This hospital is also the home away from home for children with cancer and a permanent home for some children whose parents have abandoned them due to their illnesses. They even have school here for the children who can't leave. Until Carter, I didn't realize what a vital place this is for so many families and children. This week's post is dedicated to Carter - we hope you get well soon and we pray for you every single day!

Sending prayers your way for Carter. And what a nice take on this week's theme. What you said about the children abandoned there due to illness broke my heart. I've never considered that people would actually that. Wow. Thank you for sharing this with us. And I love the angle of the photo. Very striking :)
