This has been a rough couple of weeks. Ear infection not going away and trying out yet another antibiotic. Hopefully that is getting better now. Add to that trying to convince and be a cheerleader to said child about why he has to wear an annoying and irritating heart monitor the whole day. He is handling it all really well considering but I know it is hard on him. Irritates his skin. Embarrasses him. Heavy too. Cords. I just feel bad for him. Like he hasn’t dealt with enough. Right? We are tired.

I am not sleeping well. Thinking about him and Leilani. Thinking about 6 years ago and what I could/should have done differently. I shouldn’t have played God. I should have insisted on certain things in the NICU. I shouldn’t have trusted people just because they have a degree that says they have knowledge. I am tired.

I am not throwing a pity party. I am tougher than that. Just venting.

I am looking forward to new traditions and new perspectives. I have so much to be thankful for and I know it. I am so blessed and it is tangible :)

Of course you are tired, you have had a load (both you and Alan) with the concerns about Peanut and all the little man has gone through. The fabulous thing is that you have been raising a remarkable little man. Just think what it would have been if he had been a natural brat!! Love you all so much.

I’m thinking about her and all that we could have done different too. But, there is nothing we can do different, so we have to be ok with that. It’s a strange paradox to wish you hadn’t sought out help to have the kids because of what happened, but then realizing that would mean we didn’t have Peanut. I struggle with that all the time, too… :(

We do have a ton to be thankful for, you’re right. I’m thankful for you. :)
