Defeated.
Our Sunday trip to Max Brenner’s chocolate cafe and bowling didn’t happen
and won’t.
At least not this week.
Instead we landed ourselves back in the hospital yesterday.
A mucky ear and a mucky right lung apparently
and high temperatures and heart rates.
There’s not a lot I can say or do.
This is our life
and unfortunately hospital is required.
Often this year, it seems.
The small girl is cannulated and medicated
and I guess we will get her to a point of wellness
and start all over again.
She’s doing okay this morning
and given a few days in here, we will be on the up and up
I’m sure.
Does that sound defeatist?
Maybe.
I feel defeated today.
It sounds like you are resigned to your current reality with a dash of hope thrown in. Sorry you are back at the hospital again. I am praying for you all.
*hug*
big luv & hugs to u all
Who would not feel defeated, when only after 3 weeks and all the continuing medications & ng feeding, you are back again where it all started?
Who would not feel defeated when best laid plans for family Sundays have gone awry?
Who would not feel defeated when it just seems that any future plans need to be constantly kept on hold, waiting until Ivy’s well being is compromised again?
I know I certainly would!
I’m so sorry for you all that this is happening. It seems such an impossible situation, especially when all these meds don’t seem to be making a lot of difference to Ivy’s continued suseptability to infection. Another battle for her poor little body and soul to overcome. How much more can she be expected to endure without some form of further assistance. Sadly, there seems to be no answer.
Once again I know that even in defeat, yours and Ivy’s indomitable spirits will see you through and you will continue to look forward to a better future. Just don’t give up the fight!
Thinking of you with positive thoughts for a speedy recovery & love always. xoxo
She’ll get there
I hope that with Winter on the way out the year finishes on a better note for you all xo
Hard to be defeated when you were a battling a fight out of your control…. yes it sucks as its a vicsious cycle!! She will get back on her feet soon and show you her beautiful smile!
Sending hugs to you and Ivy. Hang in there.
Thinking of you and I agree with your Mum 100%.
Hope it is a short stay.
Totally understand the feeling, I would feel the same way.
To continue to amaze me with your fabulous strength, my friend.
Defeatist? Not at all.
Start over, feeling okay today, on the up and up…
these all spell HOPE to me.
Bugger! That is just so unfair. Hope little Ivy feels well again soon and big hugs to you both.
Thinking about and praying for you all
You sound like anyone would expect someone to feel after what you’ve been going through. You’re normal. Thinking of you and sending love, wishing I could do more.
Thinking of you, and hoping you can rest up while Ivy heals. Sometimes the hospital is the place to be. But the chocolate cafe and bowling sound like much more fun. I hope you can reschedule when things calm down. I’m sorry it has been such a hard year for Ivy and for you.
Oh no, I’m so sorry.
HUGS
As one foot follows another, one day follows another. Hope you both feel better. Take time to rest and regroup. Lots of love to all Tregenza.
I’ve got so much empathy for you after my last week. I didn’t GET before, how you can’t just demand that the doctors do X or that Y happens instead – no matter how much the Internet tells you you should.
I hope Ivy’s stay is short and that you get out before the crazies hit. xxx
