still fighting…
Apparently God has way too much confidence in me to deal with insane life situations. Jerry just came home from work with a fever, promptly vomited and is now in bed. Seriously Lord?? I mean really?? Prayers would be welcome.
“The LORD is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Well we are not crushed in spirit here this morning, just a little tired OK, maybe a LOT tired. I take heart from the song above this morning. My girl is here because God so desires it. She will go to Him when He calls her.
We thought that was going to be yesterday.
Miss Courtney proved once more that she is a fighter of the highest order. She gave us a run for the money yesterday. Seizures, not breathing at least twice, plus peeing once in 24 hours. None of these things are good by themselves but together, well, that just creates a whopper of a bad day.
Jerry made it to Mass. I did not. By midnight all was calm and well and Miss Courtney was seizure free and sleeping. Mama felt like an 18 wheeler had run over her then backed up and did it again.
This is where we are right now. Things change on a dime and I never know what direction it’s going to go in, so I just hang on for the ride.
I hade planned to put up our artificial tree today but I think I may wait until Jerry is home to help. My exhaustion does not bode well for being able to have a tree stand nice and straight.
Thanks for all the emails, FB messages, tweets and comments asking about how you could give Jonathan a little love bomb for the holidays, since we will not be exchanging gifts due to many different circumstances. You can find the links below. More info is here.
Now it’s time for a nap. Love to you all!
Sending love. Thinking of you and praying for you!
Sleep well, Mary. Fell asleep praying another rosary for you and Courtney last night. Thank you for sharing Jonathan's list. We love you all! <3
Continued prayers for you all and especially for Jerry. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It never rains but it pours I guess. PRAYERS! For all of you.
long distance hugs,
Lea
Prayers, as always, Mary!
Mary, I am following your family's story from Canada. I weep alongside you all… I am so glad you know His peace. Praying for you almost daily. A song for your heart:

I am praying for Courtney and for all of you. I hope your husband recovers quickly and no one gets sick!
Can you come up with Christmas lists for all of you? You guys are having a rough enough holiday season as it is…
Mary… Praying… I am getting off of sugar for an offering for my family… Will include yr girl in my petition to Jesus… And man do I have a sweet tooth so it is a sacrifice!!! Be strong brave soldier!! Jesus and Our Lady are near…
Sorry to hear about Jerry, praying that he can fight it off quickly. Keep looking at Jesus, every difficult step, He is carrying you all and your burdens. Blessings. xx
