It's funny how you can be going along feeling stressed and sorry for yourself....as if the entire world is on your shoulders.
And then BAM...Emeril Lagasse appears............just kidding.
You get an [E.L. free] BAMM that slaps you in the face and makes you realize how good you have it.
I've been worried about a child who won't do their homework or does it and then doesn't turn it in......remodeling the house and living without a kitchen for awhile...D.Jay still not having a job....and alot of other mini dramas.
This morning I was headed out of town with a group of friends when I got a text from my mom that was my BAM moment....Oprah has "aha" moments....I guess mine are a little more violent.
The text read...."please pray for Dani...she's bleeding".
Those of you who have followed my tr's know the saga my sister has gone through....2 appearances of cervical cancer....treatments....told she would have a hard time having a baby....got pregnant....gestational diabetes and gall stones.....she was a mess for about 7 of the 9 months. We were all so excited and relieved when we welcomed her little Kaylie into the world... About 4 months later the cancer cells were back.....with each treatment her chances of concieving and maintaining a pregnancy get slimmer.
After a year of trying, I got the wonderfull news that she's expecting again. We've all been a little nervous just because of all she went through last time.
I spent my day praying and a nervous wreck....I was trying to figure out if I'd drive or fly down if she needed me.
As of now she's supposed to take it easy and see what happens. So far she's ok, but it kills me that I'm 11 hours away.
Ugh, Winkers... I hope everything works out alright... I have had cancer cells removed 3 times all after having Alec but before Tailor... The docs were not sure my cervix could handle the pregnancy... I spent more time in the hospital than I did at home that 9 months... By the time I was 4 months along I was dilated to 3 centimeters... I had to have steroid injections to make sure Tailor's lungs were developed enough cause I kept going into early labor... Go figure, they ended up having to induce me!

I will keep your sister in my thoughts!
