Just wanted to see how everyone is doing and lend support where needed..
I was just chatting with a friend of mine and she reminded me of the importance of having friends and how great it feels to have a friend who loves and supports you... (take a bow Judy!! )
Anyway, I am keeping my anxiety at bay... barely. Ryan's surgery is Monday and I am just heartbroken about. It is also my Fathers Birthday and I have grief issues still surrounding his death.
Christmas is a great time, we have a beautiful candelight servive on Christmas Eve.. but I know that Ryan will still not be feeling great. Hopefully he will enjoy Christmas... he clings to me a lot. So I am trying to get all the things I need to get ready for Chrstmas done this week...
In January I also have to bad anniversaries that I have to get though..
This year I am trying to get all my unresolved issues resolved and tuck them away, I want to keep the memory of my father alive without breaking down every time I think of him.
My pdoc said that I could up my klonopin to 1mg just to get me through and if course I am afraid to do that... we'll see. I think I will end up breaking and just doing it....
So, I am rambeling.. I just wanted to share my thoughts and see how everyone else is..!
I say a prayer for all of us every night.....



Jan looks in her crystal ball & sees Ryan well enough to attend Christmas Eve services. That will be 5 days post op!
You are so unselfish to be thinking of us with all that you have going on. I appreciate your kindness very much. When did we start chatting online? It seems like we are upon our 1st anniversary almost ;) I'm glad I met you & all the other wonderful ladies in this group - you have all helped me so much. You will get through the surgery & Ryan will do especially good because he will be excited about Christmas & forget all about his nose! You'll see. Plmk if there is anything I can do, I'm always here for you.
Hugs,

Love You Girls!!!
Sheri Ann, it was in April.. . not quite a year but it feels as though I have been here forever... I just wish that we could've met on a sewing board or something...LOL ... Just not for this anxiety carp!!!
Heather you are such an unselfish soul. Here you are with a full plate of your own yet you find the time to ask and care about each and everyone of us. God Bless You. I'm doing better Mel should be home late this evening, hopefully that will ease the anxiety I've been dealing with lately.

You are a very strong person and I am sure that you will get through Ryan's surgery by being strong for him. It seems these things are harder on us than the kids. I would rather them do any procedure to me than to see it done to my kids. If only we could trade places and take away their pain.
Anyway, the holidays have always been kind of hard for me, but are getting better. I try not to put too much pressure on myself. I lost my dad a little over 5 years ago and the holidays definitely bring that up. I am trying to think positively and to know that he is looking down on us and smiling. I guess I am doing okay (since you asked). I think I have an inner ear infection and have been very dizzy. Not fun, makes me nauseous. I am seeing a dr today and hopefully they will confirm that and get me started on antibiotics. The Holidays will be much more enjoyable if I feel better. My DD also woke up with a temperature of 102plus. Hope she feels better soon, too. We had a blast getting her to take her medicine this morning (sarcasm):)
I am sending out prayers and positive thoughts for you and all of our members.
Thanks for thinking of us Heather.
Hugs.

Heather,
You really have been doing so well considering everything that is going on with you now. I will be saying a little prayer for Ryan on Monday. I will also send you positive thoughts since it will be such a trying day for you. It's great that you are still looking forward to Christmas, though. I hope that the holiday is just wonderful for you!
Hugs,
Jules
Hi Heather,
I am hanging in there. Things are rough right now but in about a week things will change, hopefully for the better. If not I am willing to accept that I have done my best and try to stay positive.
I will keep you and Ryan in my prayers! Surgery can be scary for Mom's(and the follow up care too). I know you are going to help Ryan get well soon.
Take care,
Lisa
