I am in better spirits today. Man, I hate being down. It is just not me and it is exhausting to feel that way. A week is long enough for me. I haven't been a total downer, I have been still going to the gym and laughing at my kids and all that but just don't care to hang out as much. It is just difficult when you see and hear all of these other mito kids so sick and you wonder are you going to be next. My heart breaks for all of these families but it does feel like the shadow of death is looming. But enough of that....
Avery had a great day earlier and was happy and laughing b/c he was able to knock down a water bottle himself. Think he was pretty proud of himself and so was I.
Isaiah was very low key today, not really smiling much so I certainly hope the "M" thing is not coming soon.
Janessa is soon to be 8 yrs. old on Oct. 5 and she has already planned her party, I suppose I just need to show up and buy everything. She kills me b/c she has the whole neighborhood (6 other kids) doing tasks for her party. Hmmm, wonder where she gets that personality trait from. It's debatable b/t Rick and I. LOL
Speaking of Rick and I, we are going to see Robin Thicke at the Showcase Live on Wed. which is a piano type bar place where the Patriots play. I am looking forward to it. I am sure Rick has NO idea who the guy even is but that's okay b/c I do. LOL.
Thanks for the prayer for Landon, he is such a fighter he seems to have turned a corner for the better. Praise the Lord.
Prayers are needed for my friend Debbie, Marlo is in the hospital right now and Jaiden is not feeling so well at home. Big hugs to you girl.
ALso praying and excitement for my new neice who will be making her appearance into the world on Thurs. I am sad b/c I saw my last neice born and I will miss this one. I am there in spirit and am very happy for you guys. Praying for a smooth birth. Can't wait to see her. Hugs for all of us.

Hey, I know there's never anything that helpful to be said. I'm glad today was a better day. I'm sorry for the scare yesterday. Your heart must be in your mouth at times like that. I've had a couple, but I know that that's nothing, and that you and Rick have more than you could ever keep track of. I wish there was something helpful I could offer, but I know that just keeping in touch with people is more that you have the time or energy for, so I will check in and see how you guys are doing, and keep you all in my prayers, and be here. I hope the good far outweighs the bad, tonight and tomorrow. One day at a time. and I couldn't agree more. The whole 'god gives you what you can handle' thing is a bunch of crap. People really don't think stuff through very much. I don't believe God is doing anything. and i don't say that in a negative way, it just doesn't make any sense that people are being 'sent' stuff.In fact, god forbid that were true. If that were the case, what the fuck did all those poor souls in places like Darfur do to deserve their lot? I certainly hope that's not how it works. On the contrary, there's life. stuff happens, some of it who knows why, and some of it because of peoples actions and choices. We cope with it as best we can, and if we believe, then we pray for strength, courage, love, support, grace, and the opportunity to spend one more day with those we love. and then we pray for whatever we'll need to survive if that doesn't happen. Tonight I will pray for one more day for you guys, and for all of us. I hope you all sleep well. God Bless. Alison.
PS. Actually I will pray for many more days for all of us. but I know we have to take them one at a time.
