I've officially read all I can about non immune hydrops and polyhydramnios.
I think I'm cried out for the time being. Praying the next tears I have are tears of joy.
I don't think I could be in any more physical discomfort, but I'll take physical pain over emotional pain any day. Anyone who says otherwise has never experienced real emotional pain.
Now it really is a waiting game, and patience has never been my forte.
So it totally helped when I found this quote:
“Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears."
For today, as it's a one day at a time kinda life, I'm hanging out with Mr. T, reading books and watching obscene amounts of Mickey, because no matter what folks say, it won't do him any long term harm.
And THAT'S my perspective.

The ability of prayer is to think and talk outside the box of self control and ask for HELP. We don't know the plan, and so it is hard to think of the possible GOOD and MIRACULOUS result only the BAD one. When I Read this I thought: God said" let my people pray!".... Whatever it is, it is part of HIS plan. For today, i pray for HSI GRACE to surround you, HIS peace to calm you, and HIS LOVE to infuse you with strength..as only a father can pray.
Mary, you have been in my thoughts and prayers for weeks now, even though we haven't 'talked' in person. One of my very favorite verses is Jeremiah 29:11 and I have clung to that many times in my life. Love you tons! Wish I could hug you in person!
Mary Mike,
Holding you in the LIGHT...and praying for courage and strength for today. This business of living one day at a time is much easier to talk about than to live out. But it can be done. Don't do what I often do -- borrow ridiculous amounts of fear, anxiety, doubt from tomorrow. Your daughter is counting on you to do your part to RESIST the urges and demons I named above....She's clearly doing her part and I know you can do yours!
Love you like a sister,
Suz
