Boy life can really beat you down sometimes. Just a few updates on my front...My mother in law is back in the ICU at the hospital. She fell on January 3rd and broke her hip. Her breathing and blood pressure was unstable so the hospital had to get that worked out before surgery. She had surgery on January 7th and was doing really great. She went to rehab over the weekend, then developed pneumonia. That caused her CO2 levels to elevate (which hers already are with her disease) and they placed her back in ICU today. Her CO2 levels were really high and the doctor had to place her on a ventilator to work on that. So now she is back in ICU, on a ventilator and sedated. Please pray for her and her recovery.
The other piece of bad new we got today is... There was a relative that had a birth mother contact for us. This would have been the perfect scenario for us. College student, not ready to parent (she wanted to finish school), no birth father drama (he was not interested in the baby) and local to top it off. Well we got the call today that she had chosen us to parent the baby but was in a horrible car accident and lost the baby. She also needs every one's prayers as she is still recovering.
So now you know why I have not been around lately and quite frankly you would not have wanted me around. I have been in bit of a Debbie Downer mood lately. I am ready to pick my head up and kick life right where it hurts to let it know that I made it through. So if anyone wants to spread good cheer please send it my way. And especially keep me in your prayers as I do not know how much more stress I can take.
I promise to post a cheerful post soon! Maybe even a Christmas photo of Chandler, yeah that would be nice.
