School started yesterday. Somehow life keeps going on no matter how crazy everything is. The kids were excited to begin a new school year. The homework, activities, and sports make me nervous to add to the already sinking ship.
In the way of an update on my mother in law,
The surgery went well. The surgeon felt he was able to remove some infection and clear things that were causing pressure. He was not able to do some things that are needed because the risk of infecting other areas of the brain is dangerous. So there are likely two more surgeries in her future. Goals now would be to wake up and recover from surgery, and then show signs of infection improving enough to allow the other surgeries. She has been slow to wake up and has been having trouble talking. I stayed the night with her last night and I cannot believe how hard this all is. There is no end in sight for her yet.

Isn't back to school great? Your kids look pretty excited! Sometimes the routine CAN be overwhelming, especially for you right now with all your family has going on, by I find everyone does better with a planned schedule!
Glad the surgery went as well as possible, and here's hoping for the best case scenario all along the way! (hugs)
The kids look great! Hopefully everything will fall into place with all that's going on. I can't even begin to imagine what your family is going through. We are keeping your family in our prayers.
I'll keep YOU in my prayers now. you have so much going on. I hope the scheduled time helps!
You are in my thoughts Laura. Sound like you are doing so much juggling right now with the kids and taking care of your family. Hang in there! Hope your mother in law is showing more signs of recovery today.
Everyone in Saratoga just hurts for all of you, Laura. And there are many, many prayers being said.
This is definitely an ordeal and then some. It's amazing, though, what a strong family (like yours) can do to support each other. I'm glad that so many of you live there now, so you can help and comfort Jan and each other. I'm sure it must be hard for John to be here in California.
Hugs to all. And continued prayers, too.
Oh, I am thinking about you and your family! I hope the recovery is still positive.
Your littles are just adorable (and getting not so little every day...tell them to stop growing and I'll try to tell mine the same thing!)!!!
Lindsey looks so cute in her new outfit. I love her hair too.
I'm sorry things are not going as smoothly as you hoped. Please let me help you :)
♥ Cute kids!!! :)
The kids look great- I sure hope things get better with your MIL.
The kids look so good in there new cloths. So cute. Glad school has started but I am with you its a little nerve racking starting a whole new thing in an already sinking ship.
I hope mom and all of us can survive this. Poor poor thing.

good luck trying to juggle everything, and we'll be praying for your family, especially for the surgeries ahead.
Your kids look cute as always and ready for school. Not sure how you managed to pull it off with everything that is on your plate. You are amazing! What a wonderful DIL you MIL is lucky to have you. I hope she gets through this quickly! We will keep her in our prayers... our kids keep asking me who the Reese family is as we have been praying for you:)
We still have a prayer chain for your MIL. I can only imagine how hard all this must be with the back to school transition.
Your kids look as cute as ever. So very stylish!
The summer flew by!
Hope things start to look up for your mother n law. Let me know if I can take your girls anytime you need to be with her! I'd love to help in any way!
They look so excited for the new year. I hope things are getting better with your MIL. I know this has to be so tough!
I love Lindsey's outfit! She is so beautiful and looking like a young lady:)
