mustering up patience
alright, so we met with teri this morning. the session was typical, our frustration and exhaustion is typical, and things are just plain ol’ typical. we have decided to endure the weekend… this decision has come about with a combination of grammy’s willingness to stay through the weekend per doctor’s orders so that paul and i can get a full day break tomorrow (imagine!) and teri giving me her cell should i get scared. grammy said it best a few minutes ago when she told paul and i, “teri is asking you guys to have more patience and you have none.”
soooo…. we are mustering up a little more patience, who knows where it’s coming from, but we’ll work to make it through the weekend. grammy will be here and is kicking paul and i out of the house. what an unbelievable gift my mother is… entirely selfless and unconditionally loving to us and to our son. she will help us immensely this weekend and we will decide early next week… tube or no tube…












hello nicole,
i am just catching up on email and thought i would also catch up on your blog. the last time i was on the sight, things sounded so hopeful and i thought you had turned the corner with jackson’s feeding issues. i am so distressed to read that things are not better and the g-tube is the very next step. i cannot imagine the frustration and heartache that you and paul are experiencing just trying to feed your baby. it just seems so unfair and incomprehensible! i am so glad that your mom is there to help you and i know she is a wonderful source of strength and calm. i will continue to keep you all in my prayers and ask angel caroline to do her best from her end!! thinking of you and sending lots of love to you all – nancy
And this too shall pass. Things will get better. We will continue to keep you in our prayers.
love,
the woodards
