Hey, guys.
Four million tests this afternoon, and a late-arriving ambulance (damn train and construction) have conspired to push Matthew's procedure until tomorrow. I'm okay with this becasue I'd rather have it done right then have it be rushed, and he's hooked up to all kinds of monitoring equipment.
Joseph is freaking out because he doesn't know where Daddy is. I picked him up from my sister's at 9 p.m., and we got home at 9:30, and he ran from room to room calling for Daddy, then sat in Matt's recliner in his office and cried until he fell asleep. This, in turn, freaks me out because it's pretty much exactly what I did for two years after my dad died when I was 15m.
I'm now going to watch something mindless on OnDemand and eat an obscene amount of cookie dough brownies. Because I have no Xanax or Valium.
Re: Update
I'm glad nothing was wrong with the transport except construction. I was nervous for you earlier!
Poor Joseph. :-( I cannot imagine how difficult this is for him, and it breaks my heart to read how he's handling it.
Can you have someone pick up some alcohol for you? At this point, you NEED it.
((((hugs))))

Take care of yourself.
This is so sad. I will say a prayer for your DH tomorrow. Try to enjoy your brownies and get some sleep tonight.

I don't drink. But wow, if there was ever a time to start, I think it might be tonight. Except that I have to be back at the hospital in six hours, and I don't think I could get drunk enough quick enough to recover fast enough for that.
poor Lori and Joseph. Squeezes to both. I hope all is well soon.
To make you lol a little, I saw a funny "Texts from last night" post (hilarious website if you don't know it): something like "we only had 1 xanax left so we put it in Hungry Hungry Hippos to play for it."
I'm so sorry you are going through this. I wish there was something I could do to help. You are such a great source of support to the women on this board, and we are all here to support YOU. Hang in there. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Hugs...
oh lori. i so wish i was close to you as i would get my butt over there and bring you meds or chocolate or alcohol. and hugs. i come bearing hugs! your dh is going to get through this so DON'T worry about that! you are so right. better off tomorrow when everyone is rested, and prepared, and they can take their time.
you guys are in my thoughts and prayers. i'm saying an extra special one for you all tonight.
I'm so sorry.
Enjoy your obscene amount of cookies. I'll be thinking about you guys.
Lori, I have been thinking about you all day - I hope everything goes well tomorrow for your husband. I feel horrible for Joseph and for you - I hope you're both able to get some much-needed rest.
((hugs))
I didn't get a chance to respond to your earlier post but positive thoughts are coming your way.
Why can't this be the troll in the basement instead of your husband? Not fair.
