Hello Family: :smile:
I have missed you all! Thank you for coming to look for me....thanks DDD for the e-mail :flower:
Where to begin...? I am not sure where I left off. :rolleyes:
My Dad has been in and out of the hospital for several months and for several different reasons. We thought that he would be fine but the long hospital stay was debilitating as he is 84 years old. Then his blood level decreases and was back in for a transfusion...they can't explain any of his symptoms.
Yesterday a good friend of mine, also a NP told me that all they symptoms of my father were most likely due to his leaky atrial valve...it is what they classify a 4, which is the worst..... :nonono: He is very weak, out of breathe, has trouble moving, etc. The reality is that if they can not operate, things will not get better. If they can operate, we are not sure he could sustain the surgery in his present state. Please pray for my Dad. :crying:
difficult child is staying in a sober house and claims to be several months sober. I don't know as they tell me nothing, not even the courts advise me. She see's Baby J, who, by the way, is a full fledged toddler BOY! :dance: She sees him once a week for a few hours, we are working on her getting back her overnight visits here. Her behavior at my wedding was phenomenal but she is still my difficult child. She has confirmed for me what I already knew, she loves her son, but she really is too immature and selfish to ever really give him the care he needs. At least not any time soon. She signed herself into a new day treatment program and seems to like it better, she goes 6 mornings a week. She is maintaining the status quo I guess you could say.
As for little old me, I was fired from my job in October, 1 day short of getting Medical. I had to take 4 days off in 2 weeks time because of my Dad and Baby J had an ear infection. :doctor:
I haven't found anything since in the way of work. However I am working very hard at being a mom again....IT AIN'T EASY! :smile: :smile: :warrior:
I am worn out by mid-morning and my stamina is not quite up to this task. If anyone remembers, I was in some state of mind 2 years ago, so depressed and filled with fear and doubt. Well, my present husband is used to living normally and it has taken me awhile to try and reach his "pace". I am getting there slowly. Even though he says he knows "I've been thru Heck", he really doesn't know to the degree I had stopped living life.....stopped doing "normal things"....I do...and I am trying so hard to keep up. :smile: He has been wonderful. We stay with his parents in Florida a few times a year, they come here....his big family is wonderful :smile: I am now an Aunt.... :smile: (she's 4, but I never was an Aunt before....I am an only child)My hubby is a smart man who is street wise and worked his way up to owner. I respect and love him but he is a "do-aholic" :smile: I am sure alot of you guys can relate to getting back to normal things, or at least trying to be normal during a crisis.
difficult child took a real toll on not only herself, but me as well....
It is hard but I am soooooo grateful that this man came to me. God does work in mysterious ways. :thumb:
As for Baby J, he is sooo tall like his mother :bravo: He is so smart :bravo: He has adjusted so well. He calls me Ma and he calls his Grandpa...Pa Pa. In his eyes, the sun rises and sets on Pa Pa :bow:
As the saying goes..."I'll be back :its_all_good:
Hugs, Blessings and joy for my friends here!!
