Thanks for your prayers!

Thank you everyone for your prayers and your messages of concern. My sister Janae is doing better. They were able to take her off the ventilator yesterday afternoon. She is still in ICU and will probably be in the hospital at least 4 more days. She was finally able to talk yesterday and was very emotional about the situation. She said that before they put her on the ventilator she really thought she was going to die, she couldn't breathe anymore and didn't know what to do. I can't even imagine the feelings of suffocation she must have felt.

So she's still in ICU but she is breathing on her own with the help of an oxygen mask. I know that all of our prayers were answered. She still has a way to go but things are looking alot better than they were Sunday.

Thanks again for your prayers and concern. It's great to have friends and family you can rely on in situations like this. Thanks again!

I am so glad. My mom said she has been thinking about her lately. Do they know why she was having such a hard time?? It's crazy, but hopefully the worst is over. Give her a big hug for all of us.

They don't know what brought this on. She's been having a hard time with her asthma lately & they were talking about changing her meds. She was getting a cold and whenever she gets sick her asthma gets really bad. Hopefully they can get her on some stronger medicine so this won't happen again.

Expressing my feelings.

So this post has taken me a long time to write. I never thought I was the kind of person that kept things inside, and didn't know how to express my feelings. Usually I confront things before they become an issue, but over the past 2 weeks I haven't known how to express my feelings on a particular situation. So since I think of the whole blogging thing as a form of Journal I thought no better way to get a few things off my mind. In November of 2007 I had a miscarriage, when I was 10 weeks pregnant. I didn't want anyone to know that I had a miscarriage so I just kept it inside. (I told family of course) Since then I have been unsuccessful in getting pregnant, so two weeks ago I finally went to talk to my Dr. When I was there he did the routine yearly exam and felt that I had a lump (Nodule) on my thyroid. He informed me that this could have been the cause of the miscarriage & why I haven't been able to get pregnant. He suggested that I go the hospital to have a ultr...

Nervous!!

So I am getting really nervous for my surgery tomorrow. I haven't been sleeping very well this past week. Those that know me know that I am not a morning person & I love my sleep. Well I've been up since 5:30 this morning. So far I've changed my blog background 5-6 times and looked at anyone & everyone's blogs. I've looked at blogs of people that I don't even know. So I find out this afternoon what time my surgery will be. Now the key is to keep myself busy until tomorrow. I have a ton of things to do today so hopefully I will be successful at forgetting about being nervous. Well wish me luck! I'll update when I get home from the hospital, which could be as late as next Tuesday or Wednesday.

Hannah is such a good big sister.   She loves to hold Olivia & play with her.  One day she got really quiet & I went in to check on her & she had fallen asleep with Olivia on her.  Tooo cute!!  Olivia 3 months old!  Trying to catch a smile on camera.  So Cute!!!
