Matt and I stayed over at Laura's house last night to watch the kiddies. I love them so much! I'd heard from my dad and brother that the kid's slept through the night the previous nights etc. etc. Well, I wasn't quite so lucky. Ashlie is really having a tough time, really starting to miss her mom and dad. I fell asleep last night around 1am, being in a strange bed always makes it more difficult to sleep, and my mind is still racing with worries so I really haven't been sleeping well no matter where I am.
3am this morning I hear Ashlie crying and calling for Daddy. I go in to her room and she's sitting up in bed with big tears rolling down her face. She tells me she wants Dadda. I rock in the rocking chair until she falls asleep. But 5 minutes later she's crying again. This time we try her favorite story. Yet again, she's up 5 minutes later. We go downstairs to put on a movie. She fell asleep on the floor from about 6-7 until Garrett wakes up. He tells me that he had a bad dream about his mom last night. Oh goodness, it just breaks my heart. Needless to say I'm exhausted tonight from no sleep, but at the same time I'm so glad I was able to be with them and give them lots of hugs and kisses.
Laura is doing good and bad today. She had another colonoscopy and is waiting for the results to come back. She started bleeding heavily again today. They're now wondering if it's not colidis and possibly ecoli. She has a parasite attacking her colon and intestines. They are full of ulcers. She might have surgery to remove part of them. Laura was able to get up today and walked a bit with a walker, which was good news. She was also able to write her name today. The doctor's say she has the memory in there, but she's unable to communicate it. She is always saying, "I can see it in my head, I just can't say it." The other day when she couldn't write out her name, she knew it was wrong what she had written, but she didn't know how to write it. So sad. I'm hoping to make it to work tomorrow without having too many crying spells. They seem to come on randomly and uncontrollably. Thank you to all of my friends that have sent comforting comments and prayers. I really do appreciate everyone's love and concern.
