Anything is possible. You can be told that you have a 90-percent chance or a 50-percent chance or a 1-percent chance, but you have to believe, and you have to FIGHT

Moms thoughts for the day

My Aunt Netso took this picture yesterday and it almost made me cry. I looked and saw this sad looking mom, holding her sick baby wondering.. about LOTS! Then i realized it was me :(



I have so much on my mind lately. Libbi has been sick with a high fever (102) for a couple days. She hasn't been eating or sleeping well. She has been really grumpy. I took her yesterday and her sats were anywhere from 76-82. Not sure what to take from that? Do you go with the highest number that pops up? Who knows. I emailed Dr Menon before making an appt with Dr Rose to see if he thought it was necessary to take her in. I did not want to. I wanted to take her swimming instead. I wanted to play with her, and let her play, like a normal healthy 2 year old would do. I didn't want her to be sick. He said to take her in so i did. The conclusion was a possible bladder infection. We won't know until tomorrow on that. This is not all thats on my mind. Her MRI is next week. Her surgery is getting closer, within the year for sure. Probably sooner. I don't want to spend time in the hospital. I don't want to leave my other kids with someone else. I just don't want to do this. But i'm grateful she's here with us. As hard as it is, i'm grateful.



On top of the worry of Libbi i now have a new baby. With a crooked head! I worry about him, that i don't spend enough time loving on him. That he gets ignored.



I worry about Koy and Jerzi. They are at an very impressionable age. Koy will be baptized this fall (if he chooses to) and i hope i have taught him all he needs to know to make that decision. I worry about them at school, playing with friends, how they act towards others. Then there's the business. I worry about Kurt, if he is too stressed, if he will just explode one day with too much on his mind. I worry about the bills, the house being nice, staying healthy and teaching my kids to eat healthy, the yard looking presentable. There is so much to think about and today its overwhelming!



But i'm still grateful.



Thanks for listening :)

Mindi you are a strong woman! And a great mom. Remember even in the toughest of moments your family loves you and your family. "he never said it would be easy" I wish he would have sometimes.

This is Paul Cardell's CHD video. (I put it at the bottom of the blog, it fits best there..) It is shocking how many people, young and old are dealing with the same type of things we are. Take 9 minutes and watch, these are some of the cutest babies i've seen!! Libbi is about 6 and a half minutes into the video. (make sure you scroll down and pause my music playlist so you can hear his music, he is a pianist, it is very pretty!)
