Complete AWWWW PR

So in retrospect before Reese was diagnosed--something was off. We attributed her behavior to the terrible 2s. She was SOO clingy and had such severe separation anxiety that it was actually affecting other parts of our lives. I was getting very resentful towards DH and even her. She separated fine with DCP and grandparents, but God forbid, I was in a room in the house and DH was there---she would not leave myself. If I tried to shower it was a 15 minute meltdown, I had to sneak out of the house to go to work, etc. DH unfortunately started to throw his hands up in defeat and just started distancing himself from her. Even when he tried to interact with her if I was there it was seriously a huge ordeal/meltdown. We didn't know that she was feeling crummy, and that she had leukemia yet. 

Fast forward to yesterday--since she is in remission, and we have to delay chemo to wait for her immune numbers to come up--I was actually able to make dinner for about 45 minutes without a peep from her. DH was able to take her upstairs and all I heard was laughter. He taught her how to slide on the floor in her socks. 2 months ago, I would have NEVER had that time to cook---she would have been crying hysterically for 45 minutes. It was so nice to see.

    Hindsight is always 20/20. I'm so glad that she is doing so much better and that everyone can take a breath.

    Wishing you many more opportunities to make dinner in peace!

    Obviously not the extreme you've experienced, but there have been axnumber of times I've thought DD was being so difficult or clingy or whatever and then boom she throws up or ends up with a fever, and I feel bad but I'm always so happy to have a happy feeling-good kid back. So so glad your LO is feeling good!

    That's wonderful. I know my kids have a preferred parent when they arent feeling well so it makes considering what was happening with her. I'm glad they are connecting and you are getting a break.

    That's fantastic, and must be so wonderful for your H. I'm glad you're seeing improvement in other areas, as well as her health now!

    That's a great thing!  I bet your DH feels so much better.  She just needed her mommy when she wasn't feeling well.

    I remember you posting about you and DH having issues. I don't remember the specifics but I'm so glad things are better!

    There’s a lightning in your eyes I can't deny
    Then there’s me inside a sinking boat running out of time
    Without you I'll never make it out alive
    But I know, yes, I know we’ll be alright
