Every time I'm having a bad day....

Days like today are rough...sitter was late, its Monday so DS was clingy and didn't want me to leave, I have a TON of things that I need to get done before we go on vacation next week -- work and at home, etc. but it seems like every time I am having one of these days I open up facebook and this family i am following has posted something. Their page is called bringing home the browns. The wife went into premature labor and had a brain bleed which has left her in a coma. The hospital was able to get the baby out and after a few weeks in the NICU he is doing fine, but when this happened her husband was stationed in the Middle East. He was able to come home but the wife is still in a coma. Occassionally he will update her status with a pic of the little guy -- who is adorable! Everytime I think about her it makes me so sad...not to be able to hold your baby and care for him, much less BF would be horrible! Seeing this family's stuggles really makes me take a step back and appreciate all I have to be thankful for and that not dusting my dining room this weekend is small peanuts. If you dont follow this family, look them up, they need all the prayers they can get and it really helps put things like a decreased milk supply in perspective.

Re: Every time I'm having a bad day....
I had started following them recently and the posts just make me tear up, sometimes in joy and sometimes in sorrow for them! I couldn't even imagine! That family has been in my prayers since I've heard of it. She looks like she is starting to make some good progress with her therapy and stuff.
I also do the same as far if I'm having a bad day... It's not as bad as some! It makes you take a second look at your life and the lives around you and really appreciate what you do have.
I have a friend as well on fb with a page that people are following. She had her baby at 28 weeks. He is in the PICU right now battling to fight hard. He has a trac and had pneumonia multiple times. That poor little peanut just wants to get better and go home with his mommy and daddy!
So sad! Do they think the mother will recover?
One of my fears since having DS is that if I would die (I'm not chronically sick, but if I would die suddenly in a car wreck or something), he would never know how much I love him! The idea that he wouldn't remember me or know the overwhelming love I have for him... devastating to think about!
I follow them as well. Makes you thankful for the blessings you have and appreciate the small things a bit more.
