In case anyone noticed  Seems my normally bland and proud it's bland life is not so bland right now.... and I am having a hard time. I wasn't going to post because seems alot of others really need support... but I have talked to a few that know I am actually struggling with a few things that have bombarded our household all at once... I won't go into alot of details.. but just know I am reading and am here.. just very depressed at the moment. FIL is doing good and out of the hospital..so that is good. Sis? Well, not so good.. seriously... I won't post much until we get more concrete DX's.. but it doesn't look good guys.. really. She has an appt with an hemotologist/oncologist next Monday... again.. it's NOT looking good from what they are telling her so far and we are VERY sad... we just pray it's a mistake and will know more with some concrete answers hopefully next week. Kevin's job all of a sudden is on the line.. another long story but my man is such an awesome worker, praised at every job he has ever done.. but things are going on and Kevin is very depressed and we now have to look for a new job for him.. and more then likely the dreams of a new house will be put on hold or trashed. I am selfishly feeling more sad and angry over this part of it. Had an EXTREMELY rough weekend with Regan... it was AWFUL... and then Russell will have T&A Surgery Friday.... So.... I am truly on overload... I fight the tears.. I am not use to alot of things at once... so... we are kinda of a sad house right now.. I'll be here in spirit.... A. |

I hate to hear you are having such a rough patch A.... Don't fight the tears....let them come....your body needs to expell all that negativity and sorrow....it truly helps to get it out. I will pray for your sister and your family to have the strength to help her through whatever lies ahead. I'll be thinking of you  Allisa |

Bummer, A., condolences.
Wondered where you'd been hiding. Glad it's not worse, like serious illness for Russell or one of his sisters. But sounds plenty bad enough.
Hang in there. Spring is right around the corner, right?
Okay, everybody, A.'s stressed out and really got her hands full. Let's all behave, shall we? Should I be the first to try to shape up? -- Bob

When you get a moment, take a minute, go into another room, close your eyes and take a FEW DEEP BREATHS! Do this every time you feel really worried or anxious so you can stay strong. It may sound silly but you need to do it - honest. With so much going on you are understandably worried. I really hope for a turnaround for you and all concerned. God Bless.
Elaine.

Dear A.,
Just can not imaging you being depressed. Oh....
So sorry for you and yours... so sorry...
Please do not fight your tears, let them go...
I know it is hard that all are happened at once, but I am sure that it'll change soon.
I will pray hard for your family...
Hugs to you, dear!

A.
I know your strength....I know you can get through this. I know the feeling when the world seems like it is closing in on you...that things can't possibly get any worse, then something else happens.
I know I never told you this, maybe now is the time........when I first joined Unomas when my son was born and was awaiting surgery.........you gave me the strength to go on. Your positive attitude, your compassion and way of expressing yourself....gave a new mom like me...the hope that I could get through this. That I could take care of this baby, we could make it through heart sugery...and we ultimately would be happy again. You told me this.....and I believed you ....and you were right.
We PM'd a few times back then, and when I need strength....I go back and read them. You encouraged me, listened to me and made such a difference in my acceptance of Ds....I am forever grateful.
Now, you need shoulder....and we are all here for you. If there is anything at all that I could possibly do, please don't hesitate to ask. I know you can handle all the difficult things life has just handed you. In fact, I am positive of that.

A-
Hey-I don't know the details but can understand not posting up much--I have done it lots over the years when personal issues took the forefront (or toll) on my life. Seasons come and seasons go-(geesh-sounds like a song...) but we know that when you're able you will be sounding off. ;D
In regards to the family matters..your sis..your kids..it seems like when it rains it truly pours. Don't let it overcome you. Take time to regroup. You are truly loved and while I don't believe that old adage "God doesn't give you more then you can handle.." I do believe that God will help you through any and all difficulty (no, I'm not saying He will make it all better) because you are not facing it alone.
Share with us about your sister if you can or want to., but know that you and yours are in our thoughts and prayers...
Kaylee sailed through her T & A but didn't eat food for about 5 days. Jello-Jello-ice cream-popsicles for 5 days. It was a battle, but I just kept holding the cup and making her drink water to keep her throat wet. I mean every hour I would make her drink-even waking her at night.
Good luck with that...See if you can get some extra sleep on Wed and THursday before the surgery-just go to bed when Kevin gets home if you can. Sleep does wonders for ones mental state (can you tell I envy anyone that gets to sleep extra??()
love you-
Cindy

A,
Just try to focus on the light at the end and keep your head up and stay strong.
You are one of the most capable people I know.
Big hugs to you and prayers that things settle down soon.
Prayers also for your FIL and sister.
Soo sorry to hear about Kevin's job. Hopefully he can find a better one maybe one he likes even better. sometimes what seems the worst can work out for the best.
Hang in there!!!!
Radonna
