Leah Catlin's Burn Support
9/14/26 It’s a biblical truth that in this world there will be suffering.
John 16:33 states:
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
Sometimes these troubles just feel like you’re in the middle of a storm. The big things-they add up and then the little things of life seem to add up. And then they just all start to blend together.
On Sunday, Josiah became cranky. If you know him, even with his never ending ear infections he’s overall just a happy little guy. It’s something that we’ve started praying over him, that he will always have his sweet, happy spirit. But the Sunday cranky was a whole new level. We ran him to the doctor on Monday- yep, the ear infections are back but he also was diagnosed with hand, foot and mouth. We had another “you’ve got to be kidding me” moment knowing it’s extremely contagious and really just the very last thing we needed to be dealing with around sweet Leah. We tried to keep theirs toys separate, we’ve attempted to keep them kinda away from each other, wash all the things but today it became apparent that Leah has also caught the virus… and the first place the rash and blisters have appeared for our girl is right in the middle of her burns.
Calls to the clinic today confirmed the virus is going around like wildfire and we probably picked it up at last week’s Dr appointments… we haven’t really been anywhere else and there’s nothing extra to be done but let the virus run its course.
I’m not sure if you caught it, but up there in that verse, John 16:33 there’s a second assurance and it’s for peace. Gods got this. He’s not surprised by it. It’s temporary. The storm still swirls. The troubles continue to add up. The overwhelmedness brings tears and frustration. It’s messy. It’s hard. ——— deep breath. In HIM. We have peace. We have hope. We have joy!
Fun Praise: Leah has been asking to see Nala our sweet puppy a lot recently and we decided today was the day to bring her home! She was so surprised and excited when Nala came home with daddy after work! Thanks to sweet Aunt Lily, Uncle Cole and the cousins for keeping Nala this long.
What’s next: Leah has her next clinic appointment tomorrow. We will arrive early to get her some stronger anxiety meds on board so hopefully she’ll be calmer for the appointment.

- That Josiah will get back to his sweet spirit quickly.
- That the burns in the casting look good.
- Miraculous healing for her pinky
- The appt tomorrow is smooth and quick and less anxious for all!
