DiRN's Journal

I don't know what I had, but it knocked me on my butt for three days. Stomach flu, flu, food poisoning... all of the above. It was not pretty. But I am feeling better now and ready to update.

Kylie came home Friday, still on oxygen, still with the tube feeding, but she was home. I am getting ready in a few minutes to go to a belated Mother's day bruch at IHOP. The whole gang will be there, so looking forward to it.

Happy Mother's Day to all...Even if you are mom to a goldfish, that goldfish would not survive without your love and caring, right? All of us nurture the things in our lives, so except for Father's day, for the dads, I think Mother's day can be expanded to be more inclusive. If you aren't nurturing something...well find something and nurture it.

Spent a good amount of time on carepages today. Please pray for the Tucker family, Melissa, Steve and Bailey. They are really grieving the death of Brody which happened two months ago. Their journals are incredible... and open. If you go to care pages enter Brodytucker. Also pray for Ethin, he is "scuba boy" right now, off the vent, onto CPAP. He isn't doing incredibly well yet, not very stable, and Jess is exhausted. At least her other three children could come to AA and spend Mother's day with her.

I go through my email and am totally amazed at how many friends I have made over the past year. Of course, this time last year I was barely computer literate :). But seriously, on the carepages and here, there are so many people that my family has met and come to care for. Most of them are people that have come to care about Kylie, that we have met through Kylie. I just think it is so cool!!!

I think I'm going to do the heart walk in Toledo, Ohio this weekend. If I had done the walk that I planned up in AA Sat, in my case it would have been a "Heart fall flat on my face" :). Just that weak and shaky. I tried to go to work Sat. night but Melissa sent me home, immediately. Going back to work tonight.

Oh, the court thing with Orlando...They cut a deal, he pleaded out, and that mess is over, at least my part of it. Keep praying that this situation works out best for all involved.

That might be a good prayer for everybody, just trust in God to sort it out so that it works out for the best.:) Love and blessings, Diane
