Hi everyone,
Its been awhile. I've popped in a few times to read here, found drama and skipped it. Life has been enough drama for me the last few weeks.
Jack is doing amazingly well. He has yet to have any form of apnea, which is where preemies stop breathing, every doctor I talked to, and there have been so many, say the same thing...its a miracle that hasn't happened yet. As each day passes his odds increase across the board. There is just too much to get into of what his potential problems are. So all I can do is live for today. And today my miracle is there, waiting for us.
I hope everyone is well. I've read some and just need to say a couple things here.
Sharon,
I'm so sorry about your sister. Its a devastating loss. My heart is with you.
Lisa,
You rock on girl. I see you've had a frustrating week here. Hold your head high my friend, you help more than you know.
Out for now guys...play nice.

Amy,
Reading about the trying times you are having right now really puts things into perspective for me. Thank you for taking the time to pop in here and keep us updated. Jack is truly a miracle. I am sure he gets his strength and his spirit from his Mommy!
I will continue to keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Janet, Jodi, Ctink and of course my girl MJ,
Thanks for popping in. I'm actually home for the morning. I needed to take a break. I got my son off to school this morning and he made a remark about how I look lately. He didn't mean to be hurtful, but he did make me realize I'm no good for them if I'm not good to myself. So today I'll shower and put some effort into myself. It really is the little things sometimes isn't it?
How are you guys today?
Redd
Amy,
I've been thinking about you all week, wondering how your little miracle is getting along. It's such wonderful news to start the day with, to hear that he is doing well -- one of life's small warriors. Good for him
Thanks for stopping by. You are SO missed around here.
Love,
Gina

Hi Red:
Thanks for updating us. It's so nice to see you.
Rachel
Rae and Gina,
Its so good to see you both. This board has become a comfort zone for me, as odd as it sounds to others, I feel safe here. I guess its something only us board addicts get. Coming here and reading words from complete strangers, who I consider friends and family, has a calming effect on me. This board can be toxic, but when the dust settles, we all care.
Anyways, thanks for your thoughts, it really means a lot to me. I read almost every night here, but most nights I'm just to tired to type.
Love you guys,
Amy
Hi Rachel, its good to be seen. I hpoe you get the right answer from yourself :)

Right back at you Molly. You have been a rock through all of this for me, I bet you didn't know that did you? You're stronger than you think Miss Molly, and I've been pulling from that strength.
Happy Turkey day to you too Neighbor. Can we say Parade? We take Chance every year, and I think this year its vital to take him. After that, Mike and him are going to the game. I'll be at the hospital. I'm ordering a turkey from Kroger...how sad is that?
Redd
Hi Amy,
Good to see you. Glad to hear the little one is doing so well. God is with you.
take care

Redd,
Kroger's huh? We had them in Ohio but not here in Florida. My mom still calls every grocery store Kroger's, I just laugh at her. You know someone told me that it is Kroger without the s. Is that true? LOL Is that like saying K-marts-I am just kidding I do not call it that! It's always been Kroger's to me though. Well have fun at the parade. That sounds fun! Are you going to Boo?

terrianne
terrianne
Not sure on that one Rae, I've always called it Krogers. I drive pass it every day and never noticed. Boo? What is it? Whatever it is, I hope they can cook a turkey. I still call drug stores Revco, so I get what your mom says.
What are your turkey plans?
Redd
Hi Gina, hope all is well with you. Congrats on your 90 days. You are a true inspiration to all of us here.
Hi Amy
That is great news! I am so glad Baby Jack is doing so well.
michelle
That is great news! I am so glad Baby Jack is doing so well.
michelle
Well I solved the mystery! LOL It is Kroger I googled it..Oh well it still kroger's and I am sure they will make you a great Turkey Amy. I am going to my grandma's house for thanksgiving. I don't know what I would do without her. I am not a big fan of cooking. Well you guys all enjoy your day. I am off for now. I am going to get down and do sit-ups over here. I am trying to lose weight around the holiday's. Wish me luck-LOL I doubt it's going to happen but no harm in trying. Take care Amy. Rae
Glad Jack is doing well, Redd. I guess I've missed a lot here, since I didn't realize you had a baby, or that it was premature. Both my kids were premature, so we got well-acquainted with the ICU staff. lol Both are happy and healthy teenagers now, but I know it can be very stressful. God Bless, None.
