We are starting to feel a little calmer around here. Dad was hospitalized for 11 days and was finally released yesterday. He's still very weak, but at this point feels he strong enough not to need home health care. I guess we'll see if he's right or not. I worry about my mom overdoing it, or even not being physically strong enough and they both end up being hurt from a fall or some other accident.
Thomas chipped his tooth two weeks ago. Fortunately, the dentist said it was a clean break and they were able to reattach the tooth since it lined up perfectly. We go back today to confirm that all seems well for the time being.
There have been several other highly stressful situations we've been facing which, for the privacy of my children, I'm not going to go into here. Things remain rather unsettled and I wouldn't mind a spare prayer headed our way. I'm sorry to be vague, but it's just not for publication.
I've been working lots and lots for which I'm very grateful. At times it helps to take my mind off of things, and of course it's necessary to pay the bills! At other times it feels so overwhelming and out of control because it adds to the stress, but the school year is winding down and we'll get through it.
I apologize again for being away so long and not updating the blog. I want the blog to be a happy place, and the last two weeks it was very tough to find happiness. I didn't even want to look at the blog and be reminded of all the happiness...yep, that's how tough the last couple of weeks have been. But as I said, things are beginning to settle, and we are all seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. And the fact that spring seems to actually be around to stay certainly helps us all to feel better!
