In My Heart I Need Some Dull
I’d love some dull.
This is something I really am craving. Why?
What’s happened now, you may wonder?
Our son-in-law has been having some health issues. Not minor ones by any means. In this family-minor just is too mundane.
Anyway, he went in for a heart ultrasound on Tuesday. His leg had been bothering him and he didn’t
want to believe it was anything more than a pulled muscle.
NEVER, EVER let things like this get a pass. He had some
issues and had been warned about side effects and things to look for-but just
ignored the obvious. After all, at 32
you’re still invincible, no?
Tuesday afternoon had him admitted into the hospital’s ICU
for 3 major blood clots and an enlarged heart.
We’re back to being parents full-time for the boys. At least for the moment. That Tuesday I went to help our son with our
newest bundle of joy. That was supposed
to be an hour or two so dad could trim the trees on their lot. I got there and found my son suffering from a
stomach virus.
My hour or two quickly became the day. I had to leave long enough to pick up the
boys from school and get some ginger ale and Gatorade for Adam. As the now 3 of us got back to Adam and
Jackson, Adam told me that Alex was in the hospital.
I stayed with the new daddy/son duo until 5:15-then went to
our daughter’s home to pick-up clothes, dog food and an extra dog. Got home at the same time as my husband, feed
all the animals and got them pottied and went on with the task of making
dinner.
It’s Halloween and I’ve bought candy, but honestly-I have no
idea if we get to either take the boys out or pass out the treats to the
neighborhood kids!
I guess it’s a good thing I’ve learned to give up control
and learn to “go with the flow” of whatever life seems to throw at this family.
November 1: Still no idea what's going to happen next.
We’re upside down once again. PLEASE, PLEASE I do believe in prayer and
good vibes-send some here.
Nothing is going to stop me from praying for Alex and some
very dull and boring times ahead.

Oh my darling CARINE. My prayers and positive thoughts are on its way to your son in law and All of your family. Calm is good. Sometimes shouting an obscenity works... just for the moment too. Take it from someone who has had to wash her mouth with soap a few times and spent some time in the naughty corner more than once. The Best to You!
Love, Jan Marshall

weird thing-their 10 year anni is next Sept.. One month after our 10th-almost lost my husband w/ 2 kids almost the same ages.
I told her the shower was an excellent place to break down and scream.

I am glad to know what is going on, and WOW. That is immense. Prayers will be coming. And coming some more.

Positive vibes, positive vibes, positive vibes (and prayers too).
I've sometimes wondered how my son and daughter-in-law would fare without grandparents nearby. We didn't have the luxury of grandparent sitters while our children were growing up as grandma and grandpa were many, many miles away. Some grandparents don't do so well with little kids either.
I'm sure they appreciate all your help.
