A horrible noise jolted me out of sleep – and it was coming from my son lying in bed next to me. It was a few days after Cody’s 4th birthday; he had also done this a few months earlier, making terrible choking sounds in his sleep, which stopped after about a minute. Cody had had a febrile seizure (one due to a fever) when he was 2, but these two recent events were different: no fever, he (thankfully) did not stop breathing after it, and he regained consciousness once it was done.

The necklace that started it all…
I have a necklace that I usually wear under my clothes so I feel it on my chest and remember it throughout the day. It has a round, silver disk on a long chain with song lyrics engraved on it written in my handwriting. It’s a private little message between God and me. But somedays – somedays I wear it on the outside of my shirt to put the devil on notice.
