Six Flags and lots of prayers...

Yesterday we went to Six Flags. We as in Darrin, myself, Morgan (16) and Payton (13). I throughly enjoy roller coasters. For some reason yesterday, as I got on Goliath I was terrified!! Immediately I started praying (seriously) and my prayer was more of "Dear Jesus help me". We rode some other rides which I prayed on also. However, we got on Acrophobia (fear of heights). If you have never been to Six Flags or rode this ride...well, I highly advise against it unless you want to know what it would feel like to jump off a 200ft building and plumment to your death. This ride does that...this ride forced me to really evaulaute my relationship with God. Last year when I rode this ride I made a pact with myself to NEVER ride it again. I let Morgan and Payton (bless those girls) talk me into it. Okay, okay, I admit it didn't take much pressure from them for me to say joyfully "OKAY".

On a very serious note. Yesterday we were waiting in line for one of the water rides. Morgan told me she didn't feel very well. She felt like she was going to throw up. I told her that we didn't have to ride. We could go wait on the side and let Darrin and Payton ride. She said she wanted to ride so we proceeded to wait in this very long line. It was hot, not too hot. We were in line and the next people to load and Morgan says to me "Misty, I feel like I am going to pass out". She proceeded to lay her head on my shoulder. I told the guy across the way that we needed to get out NOW. He opened the gate, made the people get off the ride so we could cross and Morgan fell on me. I called to Darrin that I needed his help because I could not hold her by myself. Darrin came over and some how we managed to get Morgan across this boat onto the other side. She was completely incoherent. We layed her down on the ground and a lady came up who was a nurse and I knew that we needed to get her something to drink or something..Payton said she could run fast and bless her heart, she did. I handed her the money and she took off like lightening. I took off behind her and left Morgan in very capable hands of her father and the nurse. We were running around people yelling at them. We got to one of the windows where they were selling drinks and the people weren't paying much attention to us. Payton knocked on the window and I told the lady that we needed something sweet right now. She gave it to us and I told Payton to run it back to Morgan and I stopped at another window and got her a coke. I met them on the way back. Morgan was up but still feeling shaky. She drank her coke and ate the cotton candy. After about 45 minutes of sitting and resting for her (and me and Payton because we ran HARD) we left Six Flags.

This is the 3rd time this has happened to Morgan. However, she said that this was was longer and worse than all the rest. She describes it like this. She feels like she is going to throw up, her hearing shuts off and her vision clouds over and she just collapses. Her mom has taken her to the doctor and they can never seem to find a reason for this. Once we got into the car Morgan and Payton called their mom and explained what happened. Morgan's mom is going to make her another appointment for an evaul to hopefully find out what is causing this.

Please pray for Morgan, the wisdom of the physician she sees and just pray that God will put the people in her path to help to figure out what is going on that causes this sometimes. It was terrifying for me, Darrin and Payton and I know it was terrifying for Morgan.

Needless to say we are taking the rest of this week kind of easy. We are still going tubing and maybe on a smaller hike. Nothing as big as Abrams Falls.
