Has it really been only a week? It feels like a lot longer. I would be amiss if I didn't thank all of you for your support here and on facebook. My mother in law had a very tough road but fought hard and is now home recovering. We went from feeling sure we would loose her last weekend, not sure what she would be like if she did live, to knowing she would live and get better. It's still a long process for her. She has 8 weeks IV antibiotics and a lot of work to get her strength back but it will happen. It's been a exhausting and physically draining week. Being at the hospital every single day, shuffling the kids back and forth to my sister in law, and when I wasn't at the hospital I was watching her kids so she could be there. The laundry and cleaning piled up. My kids have hit breaking point with melt downs and tantrums. Lindsey had girl scout camp to attend in the mix. It was a lot of stress getting her up and off but it was well worth it. I just feel so drained. I have feel asleep in my clothes the other night, I was that tired. My mother in law still needs a lot of care but my father in law is managing a lot of that now. I am still up there as needed. In the end I feel so blessed we found out what she had and fast. A rare brain abscess that ruptured into her brain and spinal column creating meningitis. It has a 80% morbidity rate! Thank goodness for good antibiotics and the power of prayer.
We haven't had a very fun summer. I am hoping to make that up this month and next. I have several posts to share as I catch my breath.
Thanks again...

I am so happy to hear that she is doing better and will pull through. I'm sure it has been quite the week. We'll still send prayers your direction.
I wonder if she realizes how many people love her! (Maybe she has a little better idea after going through all this.)
We're so glad she's on the mend and will keep praying for her to be back on top of her game soon.
=)

I've been out of town and am just getting caught up on things. I'm glad I was able to read the happy ending first and then go back and read the story from the beginning. Gee whiz! I hope the recovery is as smooth as it can be.
