***This is cut and pasted from the Raising a Girl board8***

We arrived safely but w/out many things we need. I feel so bad for Nik. Sue, I've more than hit my goal weight. The smell of food makes me sick as well as coffee. Not sure what I will do w/Nik about school. We're staying at the southern end of the state but am considering moving into my dads house so hopefully when Eric comes home he'll have alll our things to come home to. My ds who lives there has said he will look for a house to rent. The neighborhood is nice & Nik can ride her bike & there are kids there.I'm hoping her school will allow us to fax stuff back & forth & when I go up to pack she can go to school.

The stress is awful & I wish my mom was alive because I have no female friends I'm close enough to here to talk to. The thought of packing, & selling the house by myself is scaring me out of my wits. The fear of not knowing how dh will be is scaring me to death. On an encouraging note everyone who sees him is so surprised because the reports from the hospital in Maine were so bleak. They have him up & walking around w/out using anything & I would feel better w/a walker. His oxygen drops but comes back up. There are so many un answered questions of why this has happened & why he's retaining CO2 & I hope some of those questions ger resolved. The dr. saw him for the 1st time today & wants to get him a pulmonary dr., thtas one thing I won't have to do.

Maybe once I have all my things around me I'll feel a bit better. I know I mhave to decide on a realtor w/in the next 2 weeks & get the house on the market. We had just about gotten it where we wanted it & so much work was put into it. Nik has so many friends she's leaving & she's being so good about it. I look at her & she amazes me how brave she is being, much more than I am.

We still need all the prayers we can get because we still have no answers to why this has happened & how far dh's recovery will go. I also hope & pray the nurses there & the dr. know what they're doing.

I'm going to try to get some sleep tonight.

Sue, please see that the 10-14 yr. old board gets this also. I still don't like having Nik out of my sight because I'm so afraid something will happen to her also. There are many times I feel like I'm going to break & I hope God holds me together for Niks sake. Four months of this has just gootten to be too much & I have no idea how much longer this will go on & what the outcome will be.

I'm goin to try to go to sleep now & hopefully tonight I'll get some sleep. Thank you all for being there for me.

Dee

Oh my gosh, it's just heart wrenching! I can't imagine the stress she is under. . . I didn't get to know her that well, but I have been praying for her and her family, and will continue to do so.

I can not imagine having to go through what Dee is going through.I have"known" Dee since our girls were 3 or 4 from earlier age boards.I wish I lived closer so I could help her out.
