Thanks for the Prayers! and update on us

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

First, Thank you Darla for the post it is much appreciated. TO

update everyone, Theresa broke her femur Saturday night due to rough

housing around our new pool. We do not know for sure why the femur

actually broke and the Drs are looking into further testing to make

sure it isnt more serious. She hit the side of the pool/cement very

hard however so we are praying it is a " normal " break.

She is doing better and slept through the night for the first

time last night. We are happy that she already had her wheelchair

however as if she did not we would not have been able to bring her

home this soon. Her acidosis improved they felt it was just due to

the stress and all of course.

Our son , non mito but much more complicated than Theresa

even, is just going for tubes to be put in his ears and for a sedated

ABR on Friday. We would appreciate any prayers you could manage for

him as well though. He does not tolerate anesthesia well becuase of

his apnea and hypopnea. Luckily he is trached so it will be less

complicated because of that. Our main concern is for his GI tract

because every surgery he has had the anesthesia shuts down what

little motility he has. He now does not have his med port due to an

infection so we do not have means to give him TPN if this happens.

Other than that please pray for our friend to come back. She left

her three young boys with us and has not called nor come back since

Friday (yes before the leg break and surgery) so we are juggling

three very upset little boys along with all the other issues. We are

praying she will be back today or tmr. She has had an extremely tough

time and we have been helping her through alot with the boys and her

abusive husband that she finally left but we knew she wasnt doing

well and offered to watch them for her for a short time. However...

she has not called once and not come back in almost a week now when

we assumed it would be the weekend. So please put her on boys on your

prayer list as well.

Just as an add on... add me! Im scared of flying and am planning

we find out the exact day tmr.. to fly to go pick up our new adoptive

daughter. So on top of life being a bit hectic here... we are adding

in our new daughter to the mix. We are overjoyed that this is finally

happening as the paperwork has taken forever but I am still nervous

about flying, leaving the kids (yes with their father but still), not

being here possibly for s surgery (daddys never gone through

being there during a surgery.. always home with the other kids as the

sick child always wants mommy), and not knowing what to do with these

three extra boys we have now either! I am also nervous about

tranporting our new daughter on an airplane as she was vent dependent

till just last year and has been on a CPap till just recently. So I

expect an eventful flight with me probably bagging her most of the

way. Wish me LUCK!!! Thanks for reading our update. Never ceases to

amaze me how much we can actually get through all at the same time

and still keep our sense of humor!

Wow, I thought I had stress. I am praying for all of your family.

Hopefully everything calms down for you.

Best wishes, and congrats on your new daughter.
