Cheating Death............

How many times can you cheat death?????????? Seriously, this has to be some kind of joke. But this awful joke is my reality...... WHY!!! Why me? Why my children????

Cerriah has been dealing with awful sugar lows lately. Three times in the past week to be exact. Her latest, worst battle, was just this morning. We have had the ambulance at our home twice in the past week. I couldn't wake her this morning.

I have nightmares. Nightmares that I can't wake up from. I was so scared when she was unresponsive this morning. Thank God David was here with me today. After 5 minutes of trying to wake her, she finally opened her eyes. I wasn't (and was) thankful. Why? Because her eyes had a blank stare and were rolling in the back of her head. I don't know which was worse, not waking up or the blank stare. Saliva dribbling down her chin, not being able to speak, completely limp in her daddy's arms. A sight I can not get out of my mind.......

She's fine now. She's awake and running around. But I ask, how many times??? I am tired of these jokes. She is such a fighter, so resilient, but will she ever grow tired of fighting for her life? I don't even want to ponder those thoughts right now. I can't. I won't.

I am broken, broken beyond repair.

Josiah, How Do I Love Thee?

Eli-isms

With Eli turning 5, he has come up some funny antics lately. Here are a few he has come up with:

Yesterday he woke up and was really tired. He told me "Mommy, my head doesn't want me to get out of bed".
My head was telling me the same thing!!

"Mommy, why is God in heaven?"
I didn't have time to respond. He came up with his own answer.
"Oh, I know why. He's there so people don't escape from Heaven to come down here."
Somehow he will see the irony in that some day. Heaven is one place I wouldn't want to leave :)

Quarter Year Resolution????

I hate to admit. I am SO bad at documenting things in life. I promise myself I won't forget things, and I always somehow manage. So I am making a "quarter year resolution" to myself. I am going to try to document at least some things dainly about my kiddos. This is mainly for myself, so not feel obligated to follow ;)
