Tonight is one of those nights where I wish I could just sleep and not let anything get in the way of my sleep. I have a lot on my mind specifically Jacob and his wrist. Tomorrow is his appointment with the pediatric orthopedic and this is when they tell us exactly what will be happening. The last couple appointments have been hard every time they have done an xray they have had to go back and basically move the bone and recast it because the bone is growing at an angle. So now its come to the point where they are basically going to do another xray and then let us know if he is going to have surgery or not. if he is to have surgery they would break his wrist and then put it back together with a pin and then recast it and he is out for another 6-8 weeks. I want what's best for him but I also see him kind of falling into a depression over it. It is so hard for a 6 year old to just sit it out during recess for 6-8 weeks which he has been doing but can you imagine having to do it for double that time, also his summer would be ruined. I feel so bad for him, he talks about wanting his normal hand back and I seriously have to fight back tears when I hear him. he doesn't understand it he just sees how different his life has been and all the things he can not do. So tonight the prayers will be constant that a miracle occurred and his bone is now fine and that they switch him out to a shorter cast and he will have his arm back sooner rather than later, I hope its not negative news for my baby. I will update as soon as I get back home.
It's been two years since I have updated this blog, busy is now my middle name and a lot has happened. This will be one of those super long posts but I am okay with it. I remind myself that I am doing this so that one day my kids can read this when they are older. So as is life we have good times and we have bad times, the last two months have been rough. Alex was diagnosed with colon cancer two years ago and unfortunately he passed away Aug 14, 2019 a day before my Links 4th birthday. Life has been so different with him being gone, we had his services last weekend and it was so hard to hear what people shared about him. We all love Alex and miss him so much but I know that he is in a better place with no pain. Monica has been as you can imagine in so much agony over losing her son. I try to be there for her as much as I can but she usually tries to just hold it all in, she gets that from her Mama, I wish I could just hug her and take all her pain away. We have Alex's picture r...
