I'm Still Here...

Gosh, it's been far to long.  So much has happened since I last wrote.  Aside from going through some things emotionally, we have had the flu bug run through each of our children  and managed in the midst of that to have a very amazing 1 year birthday party for our miracle boy.

I have so much to catch up on.  Tonight I finished all the bookkeeping for our company and the boys seem to be on the mend. I am waiting on photos from our dear friend Rayna who volunteered her time to come and take pictures of Paxtons party.  Things are slowly falling back into place. I am taking some time for myself and working through this past year with some help.  Now that things have slowed down some, the reality of it all seems to be setting in. The auto pilot that I have been running on for the past 365 days is taking a break and the recollection of it all, the reality of it all and the emotional trauma ( and yes it was actual trauma, that has been confirmed ; ) of it all is hitting home.

Once the pics come in I will be sure to post them. In the mean time I am going to bed early these days.  Trying to give a little t.l.c  to my soul. Don't give up on me, I'll be back. Just taking a much needed vaca from it all and letting it filter out for now.

I'll be back later in the week.

Night all!

Happy One Month Birthday Baby Boy

Today our son turns one month old!  There were days when I was still pregnant with him that we were not sure he would be alive to see this day. God, has blessed us. He is here. He is perfect. He is fighting the biggest fight of his life.  Just as sure as the H (home) word was mentioned to us as a possibility in a couple of weeks yesterday, I in turn, got the phone call at 2 a.m. this morning that his heart is struggling.  His heart is working so hard to keep going. It is a delicate balance. One day everything looks picture perfect and hours later it all changes.  I am working on not looking to far down the road, one day at a time, one hour at a time, one prayer at a time. Today our son turns one month old and the alternative makes me realize that I/we can do this. Even though there will be many tears through out this, many angry days, sad ones and joyful ones. I do believe that God has a plan for us and for our son and as we wait to learn what that plan is, I am finding a patience I ha...

I honestly didn’t realize until today why I have been the weepy mess that I have been these last few weeks. I thought I was tired.  I thought well you have five kids and lots to remember. I am prone to anxiety. I worry to much which is definitely nothing new.  I attributed the constant crying to all things other than the obvious, which after ten years one would think I would have down by now.   It’s February.   It is heart month and I don’t mean cupid.  It is real heart month.   The hearts who are sick, broken, healing, or in heaven… We honor, celebrate, recognize and weep over all things Congenital Heart Defects.  I used to be able to post a lot more about it.  I used to write a lot more about it, but I have found as time goes on that well… I don’t have a ton of time for it, but also I think I’ve been avoiding it as well… because after 10 years… words don't come to me like they used to…there is just no time line and I haven’t...
