An update

Well... Last week was a challenge to get through. Thankfully I have such wonderful family and friends to turn to when I need to talk. I have to let you know that I wrote an email to my boss using the last entry for inspiration. She called me back immediately and gave me a number to the EAP (employee assistance program). So its comforting to know that there is other help out there as well. It is also nice to know that I am normal, and that its okay that I want to hold my own children closer. Another thing that helps is that I found out that the baby is still alive! The trauma caused internal bleeding in his cerebrum that was inoperable and that he'd be severely brain damaged. But, a few days ago, the report is that the bleed stopped and that he is tracking with his eyes and reaching out for his mother. It is a miracle. I want to thank everyone who had him in their prayers.

Last saturday, Ryan and the girls had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the great Buzz Aldren. He was here in Tucson on a children's book signing tour. They purchased "Reaching for the Moon" and he autographed it! I came home from work on saturday and Aurora chattered on and on. "Momma! I got to meet an Agronaut! Him walked on the moon!" I think everyone was suitibly impressed with the super-genius-athlete-outstanding-senior-citizen. Man, I am jealous. I wanna meet an astronaut!
