Nathan 20 1/2 months old
Austin 3 weeks old already!
When it rains, it pours. I had planned on posting a new entry once the New Year was upon us but I didn't plan on it being such a sad post. On Tuesday night, my mom was admitted to the hospital. She has a really bad case of the flu, as well as, a bad case of Pneumonia. She is doing pretty bad. It is really hard for her to breathe, they are trying to help her with giving her oxygen. It is so hard not being able to be there with her every second while she is in the hospital. Even if I lived closer, I would be scared to visit her because I don't want Nathan or Austin getting sick. I have talked to her a couple of times on the phone and it is so hard for her to even be on the phone. I feel like I don't even know how my mom is really doing. She is really scared and keeps saying things like, "I hope I make it through this" and "If I do make it through this."
I am so terrified and mentally, emotionally, and physically drained. I was all those things even before my mom got sick, just with the birth of a new baby and all. As if, all this isnt enough, my aunt, who I am very close to has also been admitted to the hospital, two days after my mom infact. She is my moms sister and I can't imagine how worried my grandma is right now, she hasn't been well herself and I really hope she doesn't end up in there as well. My mom and aunt hadn't seen one another in awhile so they didn't even get it from one another.
I hate not being there and not knowing how they are both really doing. I know my mom must be very lonely and scared. This weekend, we had planned on making a day trip to my hometown so my grandma could meet Austin for the first time, but that is on hold for now. I just pray my mom and aunt make it through this and I hope my grandma doesn't end up in the hospital as well. My aunt and grandma live together so it's possible that my grandma may get sick as well. I am so terrified, worried, stressed, tired, and still hormonal all at the same time.
Normally, the flu and or pnemonia isn't this scary but my mom, aunt, and grandma all have other health problems which make all this much more scary and harder to beat.
Hopefully, my next post will be a happy update on all of them....
Thank you to those who responded to Austin's birth story, it means alot!
We have new pics from Christmas Day of Austin and Nathan on our website, click on 2003 Photo Gallery and then again on Christmas 2003.
God Bless~
Kelly, Nathan, and Austin
