Well, after 67 days total I reached my breaking point. I'm pretty sure the week of not sleeping has made it all way more worse than it actually is... It's crazy how no sleep changes everything. I've had a week full of home health training, begging Muffy to eat like she did last week, and did I mention we haven't slept...... Today tears fell with the reality and fear that we were leaving the bubble on Tuesday. So many iv meds, oral meds, butt meds.... You get my point. Uncle Alan passed away three years ago today, and it's September 11th (really shouldn't be crying because I have Madison). I decided I had two options... 1. Keep crying or 2.start asking for help..... Of course God has given Ryan and I great resources so now a few hours later the load is looking manageable. A good friend came today and made me laugh, which is beyond what I needed... She also brought two cinnamon rolls from Open door and I really needed those!!!!! My mom had a customer that sent me three verses that kept me focused.... And then Madison and I got a 30min nap in..... Here is to embracing today as a lesson learned and a new day tomorrow.

I wished word would ease your pain! But I am not sure they can. AJ, I, and Bailey talk about your struggles often and pray more than we talk! We can't imagine your pain or how Graceful you are as you go through this! But He our Father in Heaven is taking ahold of your tears and returning them with wisdom, strength, and love! I believe it's ok to just cry it is a release that makes you stronger because you let some of those tears follow and the pain leaves, if only briefly! (Ps I try to proof read... But Ms teacher .... It's super hard for a dyslexic person to find mistakes) Lol I read it correctly even it's not right!!! Praying!!!!

Sending prayers for strength and sleep. You are an inspiration to so many. I tell my husband daily what an amazing woman of faith you are- a true disciple in Christ. May God surround you in comfort and peace and give you clarity of mind to take in all of Madison's care instruction. God bless you both.

Prayers for sleep and comfort as you prepare for your move. You are a strnot woman and your faith has been incredible through this trial. Keep praying and ask for help when you need it and be willing to accept it as someone elses act of service and worship when he provides it. Deut 31:8 is a great verse to lean on in challenging times. We will continue to lift up Madison and your family. God bless you.

Sending prayers for more strength to get you thru. Taking one day at a time like you have is key. And breaking down does mean you are weak it means you are human and we all get to that point sometimes in our lives. Your love for God and Your family will wipe the tears away and give you a new start for a new day. (((((Hugs))))

As a grandma of a transplant child, I understand how over whelmed you feel. My daughter had those exact feelings. You need a little brake! Maybe you and dad could switch places and one of the nurses could stay close. Even if it is just for a couple of hours. Even if you could get someone to give you a brake to sleep an hour or two will give you a whole new outlook. Prayers for you all!
