candles lit, offered a mass this morning, still praying and hoping
Helping the world one seed at a time
When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee
That is exactly what her nurse told me this morning. I am getting ready to head back down.... Thank you all for all your prayers and support. Thank you for caring...
I hate that you feel that way....but we are all here behind you and praying for Cindy. :ding: Rachel will be there soon and then you will be able to lean on each other.

I have a feeling that my sisters are going to show up today. I told them "No" but when did they ever listen to me????
You need someone to support you right now,, Sometimes with us Sister's we seem to know when our sibling needs moral support whether we think we want it or not from them this is one of those times you may be glad they didn't listen to you :wink:

well, give them my best and tell them to give you a hug from me, ok? i'm sure joanne wouldn't listen to you tell her what to do. ever. but she love you as does julie. let them love you, it's good for all of you kinda like letting us love you
I do agree with everyone Bill. It will be good for you to have your sister's with you. You can't do it all on your own! They want to be there to support you and that is a good thing!
There is a growing pile of cards and packages on Cindy's desk... please don't think me rude for not acknowledging them when the come... She'll be home soon and thank you as soon as she is able.... Thank you!
all they will say is "stable" why can't they just tell me she is on the high road to complete recovery? stable.... !#%* you very much! Some of those nurses are sooooooooooo awesome... a couple are more worthless than dog @#%^!
Stress is what you will stay until Cindy is home. Everyone is right. Try and take some time for yourself. Even if it is just a few seconds of deep breathing or something. "Stable" is much better than unstable or critical. There are silver linings if you really hunt for them.

I tried to wander around and look at all the flowers that are starting to bloom... for stress relief.... Cindy has waited for months to see Cedar Hill in bloom.... so that plan flopped.... Those are Cindy's flowers now.... I will be ok because I KNOW that Cindy will be ok... She has too many good things left to do, for her to quit on me now...
bill, since cindy can't take pictures today, can you go wander around and take pics of things you are sure she would want to see? i know you enjoy taking them and she enjoys seeing them deep breath...
Bill take shadow and go for a long walk. It might help releive so of the stress. Fresh air will do you good. YOur not alone in your sadness , all us on here are your friends and praying for the best.

They made me take all her pictures and bears and forum pages and gnomes and flowers back home....

we played frizbee, went for a walk and even got permission for Shadow to come into Bubba's to share a margarita with me. Shadow clings to me, Smokey has given me a thousand Kitty Kisses and Lola has been a perfect Baby Bird Every time I cry, she has given me lotsa kisses until I am better... Cindy IS going to be ok... but this waiting sucks.... We're going for a walk....
OK--so they made you take things that might have germs on them home--understandable---but why not see if you could bring pictures in to 'just show' Cindy---she need not touch them in order to see them--- (when she is up to it, of course) "seeing" Cedar Hill in bloom, or say a picture of Lola & Shadow might make her feel good.--
Who knows perhaps they might even send their love to 'Mommy' thru you.

We understand. We all need to blowoff steam, this has been long an hard for you. YOur a very good person. Does Shadow play ball ? Ours loves to play ball with his chow pan.
i was thinking for when she wakes. i know that she can't see anything right now. if she wasn't so heavily sedated, she'd be fighting all the things that are there to help her and that would be counter productive. but then, you know that 'cause you told me that same thing.
shouldn't be long now before she starts to perk up, maybe tomorrow
Golly Bill I had no idea-----I feel so bad----I am so sorry---BUT perhaps this is Cindys body's way of getting enough rest to heal its best----
Prayers for her--always--and for you---please take care and remember---we are here for you---always---
The days will pass and r\Rachel will be there--and as has been said already--you will then have one another to lean on---and Brennan to distract you both. :wink:

The doctors put her in coma intentionally, for that exact reason... I should have said that. I apologize. They told me they will hopefully be able to remove the respirator on Tuesday and let her wake up again
We've tried to change our flight to tomorrow. The airline isn't willing to do much, only wave the $100 per ticket reservation change fee. They want an additional $1400 to change the reservations. Looks like we will have to wait until Friday.

If you never have you should. These things are fun and fun is good.
absolutely NO need to apologize. You have enough to keep on your mind that you have to keep there---and I am still in awe that you have enough time & strength to keep us informed. So glad the drs are taking such good care of Cindy.
Now why don't you take some time to get yourself rested.
You can still take the pictures of the flowers & such so Cindy can look later---
that way she will not have missed it---the timing will just be off a bit that is all-

Even if you ask for a hardship case tickets??? I was always told the airlines would work with you---I guess not, huh???
