Harrison's stomach pains went on for over a week, including the weekend before Hubby took him to the doctor on the 20th. We watched what he ate and tried to monitor him so he didn't eat too much or eat things that we thought would bring on more pain. We kept giving him Mylanta liquid, which he hated, but took the pain away within 10 minutes. In between times, he was listless and cranky. It was hard to watch - we knew he didn't feel good, but we couldn't do a thing for him since the tests on Monday evening proved negative for anything wrong.
Finally on Sunday night, he had another attack and was in great pain. We finally thought to have Hubby give him a priesthood blessing. It was really amazing - he IMMEDIATELY calmed right down and went to sleep. He went to school yesterday and while he was tired from being awake during the night, he was perfectly fine. He slept through the night last night and is his old happy self today. The best thing is, we haven't heard the words "My tummy hurts" since his blessing, not one time... and we'd heard it about 3 times daily since Friday the 17th. We know blessings work! Hopefully next time, our poor kids won't have to wait 10 days before we think of it!
