I am so far away from my sweet daughter and her incredible husband and their sweet baby boy. It is too far!
When I heard what had happened, I immediately left and took the next two days off so that I could be in Murray with them. I was so glad I had made that decision as those kids were dealing with so much! TOO much for such a young couple so newly married!
Now I am forced to be home. After all, as my mother so caringly pointed out, I do have OTHER children at home. And other responsibilities. My house is a mess, I've already missed too much work this year because of my own injuries, and my car registration expires today. That's just the beginning! What is next?
Well, they finally did a barrage of tests on little Doxford yesterday. Last night I was notified by my daughter that they are certain of brain damage, but the nurse practitioner wouldn't tell them how much or what kind. Now Katrina is worrying that it is severe and that's why they have to talk to the specialist.
And through all this I'm over 100 miles away and helpless!
I just can't get uptight. I'm trying really hard! I slept last night, had some strange dreams but I slept. I feel such a calm in my heart and soul that I do not believe there is anything major wrong or anything that can't be overcome! Too much points to a positive outcome.
So far, they know that the liver was damaged but the doctors are sure it will and is recovering. The tests for kidney, heart, and lung problems are coming back positive. The EEG - measuring brain activity - returned with "minor abnormalities" so why would I believe that the brain damage is severe? I just can't. It doesn't equate to the results coming back on everything else.
I wish I could express to my kids just how I feel and why. They don't need me right now, though, because they have each other and this is just another hurtle they can take together.
They all are such in need of prayers and positive energy.
