I know that I have not written in quite sometime although I have been occassionally reading some of the digests.

Since mid May here is a review of some of the things that have been going on in my life.

approx May 15 my daughter (Cydney) who was pregnant was put on bed rest after being in and out of the hospital i n New Hampshire, so, my husband went up there from here on Long Island to pick up her 3 year old daughter to come and stay with us because as we all know you cannot be on complete bed rest with a 3 year old around . She stayed with us until June 1 when we brought her back to New Hampshire.

During the above time my daughter was air lifted from her local hospital to Dartmouth Hospital because of all of the pregnancy complications ( too numerous to list )

Her husband was starting the Broward County Police Academy on June 17 and so, they had a move planned for early June and she was still in the hospital! The doctors agreed to discharge her straight to the airport as long as all tests that morning looked okay. They did, and off we went- Mommy to be in a wheel chair ,me as escort and 3 yeard old in tow! Daddy was on his way to Florida from New Hampshire with a U Haul !

We arrived safely and set ourselves up in a hotel and immediately went to her new obstetrician who sent her immediiately to a Maternal Fetal Medicine Doctor. The next day they moved in to their new apartment and the next day I left. That day she was put back into the hospital , but , now in Florida.

I returned to Florida

She stayed in the hospital for one week and had her baby delivered byC-section 5-6 weeks early on June 14th.

Josua was 3 lbs 4 oz and 16 inches ( a little, but cute guy) Josua is still in the neonatal intensive care unit and is doing well gaining, breathing on his own and now is out of the incubator.

Daddy has started the Police Academy now.

At least they are all together in Florida and not seperated because of the academy and hospitalizations etc.

Meanwhile through all of this I have continued with my full time job managing a retail store and my husband has been working almost full time too.

All of this took alot of organization, but, we did it

Now, this has been one of the most stressful periods of my life and not once, I repeat, not once did I have any kind of RP flare. Did Mother Nature just not allow it ?

I am amazed but very thankful that my own issues did not get in the way of all that I had to do.
