No News is Frustrating .....RE: BIL

[RCT]

We'll I finally heard from dh....and the doctor won't have the results until tommorrow....man how frustrating is that....they have BIL off all pain meds....and are giving him bland food...so that's good...he is walking around and staying more awake....tired of being in the hospital though....

I thank you for all your prayers and keept them coming please...

on a personal note, I don't know how long I can take all this...its so exhausting and yet I feel guilty when I think of myself....its hard being home base...not being there, and taking care of the kids and walking dogs...and just being strong for everyone else.....ARGH...little vent...sorry....kids are stuffy and whiney about daddy being gone so much...{they are spoiled about that} and I am tired....don't feel like cooking for just us...but don't feel like breaking down and eating junk at MacDonalds....ARGH...did I already say that?

DH is staying with SIL again tonight...they might release BIL tommorrow...thanks again for all your support...:) :tinysmile

Renee...here's a (((((BIG HUG))))) for you :)

I can't even imagine how hard it has been on you, but hopefully in a day or two, your DH will be back home and everything will be back to normal. It's hard for everyone when your home life and your routines are interrupted.

Prayers for your BIL :angel:

I keep telling my DSs that they have to become doctors to straighten out the medical profession :rolleyes:

Keep strong Renee :yellowhea .... and by the way....a little McDonalds is okay ;)

Hang in there sweetie! Prayers for your family.

Renee, You can do it. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sure this is wearing you down, but I know dh appreciates your being 'support staff' while he takes care of his sister. And think about the example that you and dh are setting for your kids...about family pulling together and being there for each other. I hope it slows down soon for all your sakes.

Pat yourself on the back for doing such a great job! Your dh (and the entire family) are lucky to have you!! Hang in there and I hope the next 24 hours go by fast, that your bil gets good news and that your dh is home soon!! {{{hugs}}}

Thanks for listening to me complain...I feel selfish for even complaining right now...I talked with BIL tonight...he was his good old self...told me we should run away to Hawaii for a couple days when he gets out...LOL....thanked me a dozen times for watching his beloved dog...and giving my husband up during his hospital visit as he called it....

I made dinner...although MacDonalds does sound good still...we did make some tøll house cookies....they were excellent...:licklips: I sure hope there are some left by morning...LOL....

I am praying that BIL gets good results tommorrow....:angel:

Thanks again for not judging me and letting me vent....even though I was being petty....:) you guys are the best.

[Cathy]

Renee, It's not petty to want normalcy and answers. I'm glad you have a place to vent. LOL about the cookies. Dd2 makes a batch every day, and can't understand why we don't have enough for Christmas yet. (Excuse me while I chew and swallow! Yum!)

I agree. You guys have been on a rollercoaster of emotions and it gets wearing for anyone. I remember being completely overwhelmed when my fil was battling cancer. Don't feel guilty for your emotions and be sure to lean on us whenever you need to!



Cathy - ROFL about the cookies!! :lol:

Hang in there! What comes down, must come up and its your turn to come up!!

[darlene]

Hang in there Renee! Don't feel guilty about feeling like you do. Change is hard on everyone and difficult to accept at times.

I hope you all get great news about your bil.

:)

Hang in there kiddo!!! This is what we are here for.

[Mickey]

Hoping for good news tomorrow!

I'm sure it's hard on you and the kids without dh.
And if you don't feel like cooking, oatmeal works in a pinch! ;)
