DDA Chapter 25

[tmfranlk]

This will be difficult for all involved. I suspect that the infant will need to be buried or cremated so that will be a whole other issue that will be popping up. It will be hard for Erin to talk to you and even to see you for a while as it will just be a reminder to her of what she lost. My SIL and I were due within a couple of weeks of each other when I had my miscarriage. I wasn't nearly as far along and I was able to get pregnant again almost immediately, but the emotions were some of the hardest that I've ever had to work through. My SIL commented after Colby was born that there was so many things that she had wanted to share with me about her pregnancy, but she felt like she couldn't because she knew it would remind me of what I had lost. While time makes things easier and I can't imagine myself without Colby, I sometimes wonder what if.

Thanks for your personal insights, Deb. It really helps me have a better understanding. I can't even imagine how hard this all must be and it's hard knowing that I'm not going to be able to help that at all, plus will probably make it harder. The best I can do is just offer what I can (probably mostly watching Kaylin and that kind of help), let those she best talks to handle that side and pray.

Hunter is fantastic. No sign of the tumor regrowing I cannot tell you how relieved we all are. I simply cannot stop the tears of joy.

[Blueeyes101817]

I meant to ask if anyone has heard from Lindsay-- I just found a thank you card she sent me awhile back--if anyone has her email, could you pm it to me ? Thanks!

 

[Glynis]

So I've been an emotional wreck since we got the good news. I decided to take a nap in hopes that I would feel more stable when I got up. I had the most bizarre dream. The actual dream is a blurr, but I remember seeing my grandmother and one of our old dogs. I woke up feeling confused and then it dawned on me that they were coming into my dream to let me know that they had been with Hunter this morning I bet if I had slept longer I would have seen more friends from our past. It seems they are still looking after us. Okay, I know that sounds crazy, but I really think that's what it meant.

Not crazy at all, Deb. I totally believe that! Lots of angels have been watching over Hunter!

Tia -

Deb - Fantastic!!!!!!!

Lenora - Hi, I'm your neighbor to the west, we're in Biloxi. So far our beaches have been spared, but I work in retail and our sales are definitely suffering, tourism has taken a hard hit.

Today was my last day of PT, that is unless the doctor decides I need to go back. My ROM has improved but my strength still has a way to go, I came home with the instructions and bands to continue at home.

 

[PNO4TE]

117 last I looked.

Exactly! And the temp went up, ever so briefly, to 102.

I received a thank-you card also, about 6 weeks ago. She has not responded to any emails I have sent to her so I am not certain that it is a working one anymore.

Good for you! I hope, with continued work, your strength comes back in full, Debbie.

So dad had labs drawn today, They said all his labs were normal. His iron level is 11 mom could not remember what his wbc count was but she said it was good.

 

[bear74]

So mom is starting to come around to the idea of these babies. She has been suggesting girl names. The first one was Beverly, then Rachel. I told her I wanted to have something that goes with Olivia and Virginia. So then she suggests Donna and Loretta.

Deb-what wonderful news on Hunter!!!

Tia-so sorry for Erin. Lots of prayers for your family!

Debbie-Good luck with regaining your strength!!


Hi Lenora-I'm Bernadette-Mom to Lizzy(11), Joe(9) and Emma(7). DH (of 25 years) is a stay at home day who doesn't love Disney.





Tia-I sort of accidentally hit the "submit order" button today on a Panasonic ZS7 12mp, 12x zoom - fits in your pocket. I had been checking Amazon & BH Photo and TONS of online reviews on a daily basis. Today I got an email from Amazon with a "pin" for $50 dollars off if I ordered today. By far the best price I've seen! I'll let you know what I think when it arrives.


I don't think I told you the doctor couldn't get the hospital for 8/9 so now I'm scheduled for 8/2. I feel bad about being on medical leave right after vacation but I know my boss doesn't think I should cancel my vacation.

[lovesdumbo]

I love it Bernadette

I added it to the shopping cart, added the code for $50 off, was still sort of thinking should I....and then before I knew it I saw the "your order has been placed" message. I have to say I really did surprise myself. Hope I love it!!!

 

[tmfranlk]

I love it Bernadette

That's exactly what I was going to say! Definitely let me know what you think, Bernadette. I'm sorry that your surgery is a little earlier, but sounds like your boss is okay with it. I hope your foot doesn't bother you too much during the trip.

Debbie - Yeah for PT being over and the results! I hope the strength comes back quickly as well.

Jennifer - I'm glad that your mom is coming around. Good news on your dad as well!

Elin and Tammy - Glad you didn't melt today! We finally got a cool down all the way to 86 today, but it didn't quite feel much better. Hopefully it will stick around another day though as I'd much rather have tonight's weather for The Muny tomorrow night than have the temps go back up again.
