I just can’t stop thinking about how blessed I am. I am an emotional person as it is, but then throw in crazy pregnancy hormones, and crazy events, and I am a mess.
My husband kept his cool and knew exactly what to do when I had a freak seizure. My parents left work and went home and packed their bags so that they could come if needed. As soon as they found out I would be admitted, they drove ALL night and showed up at the hospital. (I was feeling really lonely. Scott had to leave to take care of the girls, and I cried when he left the hospital.) They stayed the entire night with me. If I had not been put on the labor and delivery floor, they would not have been able to come that night. My mom dozed off for a very short while, and my dad got a slightly longer nap in, but not at the same time. As soon as they knew that Scott was up with the girls, they left the hospital to trade places with him. After getting practically no sleep all night, they spent the entire day taking care of Chloe and Addison. They let Scott stay at the hospital with me all day, and even came back to visit me before going to their hotel to finally go to bed.
My mom went to the store and bought some food for us (Friday was supposed to be our grocery day, so our freezer was pretty bare.) I came home to pictures hung all over the house and other decorations for my birthday. There was a huge bouquet of flowers on the table with a happy birthday balloon.
My mother-in-law is heading out this way tomorrow. She is going to stay for at least the whole week. She is going to go to the mother/daughter banquet on Saturday with me.
I just don’t know what I did to deserve such blessings. Yes, it is a crummy situation.. I can’t drive until the middle of November, I have a hole in my heart, and I have to take two horse pills twice a day to prevent another seizure from happening. It all could have been so much worse though. I am just so grateful.. my heart is full and overwhelmed by how good God is.
I appreciate all of the prayers for me, but also pray for special blessings to be poured out on all of the people who have shown such selflessness and kindness through all of this.
