November 22 - Heartbreak



She didn't wake up enough.  She was distressed and frustrated.  Then she would rest and stop breathing.  She threw up.  We were faced with a tough choice.  We decided to give her the "Michael Jackson" medication to rest and morphine.  We'll stop medication around 9, and then hopefully, get her off the tube by the afternoon.  Can't stop sobbing.  Feeling helpless, scared, and panicked.  My brain hurts.  Please pray for her.  Thank you.

Thanks for helping out and playing with the girls- Miranda, Maddi, Veronica, Helen and Rummens.  The girls had such a great day.

Sending a special prayer out to my dad.  This has been especially been tough on him.  He and Chloe have such a special bond.  Thank you for giving her things and experiences that we could only imagine otherwise.  She and I love you so much.

  1. Dear Dancer Girl,

    I will sooo look forward to seeing you dance around the house. You are our sweet, gentle Chloebear. We came to see you tonight. You had a rough day and night. It breaks my heart. I would do anything to trade places with you. No little girl should go through this. I pray to God that you are comfortable tonight, and that tomorrow will bring positive results. Good night my love.

    To know that all you want to do is hug Chloe and take away all of her pain and that you can't do that, must be the most heartbreaking thing. Know that you aren't alone; you have so many of us praying for your strength and God's healing for Chloe. I know words can't help and nothing I can say will comfort you, but we are thinking about you and sending love.

    I found your blog spot via Kurt and Facebook. I just wanted to let you know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I am inspired by your strength, and the love you both have for your unbelievably strong daughter can be felt in every post. May God watch over Chloe and help her in her recovery.
    Love to you all,

You have raised a beautiful, strong daughter. Grandpa's special bond with Chloe is evident every time I see her climb up on his lap and see the way they look into each others eyes.I have always noticed it.It's very special!
