This morning has been so painful for Evangeline. She’s cried and secreamed, “I can’t stand it anymore.” Yet she presses on. The pain team came to see her and increased the Valium hoping that it would not only relax her, but also relax the muscles spasms in her back from the change in position of her spine. The side that curved out way over her hips seems to hurt her the most. That makes sense since it is now pulled in straight. It is amazing how the shape of her back looks so normal now.
The plan is to get her up to sitting in a chair today. I really cannot even imagine that with all the pain she’s had, but I know that moving is necessary and will help her in the long run.
My sweet friend came to see us yesterday and brought a bag of goodies for Evangeline. We were both so happy to see her.
Stephanie has been such a blessing to me and to our family as we have traveled this journey of adoption. She has faithfully stood beside us each step of the way. She was even there in the early stages when I was only dreaming of adoption.
She’s organized meals for our family too many times to count, and brought so many herself. That’s saying a lot for a family of thirteen! She’s even partnered with me in homeschooling the girls two days a week, and has developed a wonderful relationship with them. She blesses us.
The kids at home are missing me. Pray especially for Eliza too. It is so hard for her to have her mommy gone. And for Mark as He, too, presses on without his helpmate.
Blessings All, and thank you for your prayers.
Woof. I’ve been on both sides of that fence and neither is fun. Oddly enough, I think it was more traumatic watching a loved one experience that kind of pain than being in that pain.
We can’t be there to help but know our thoughts and prayers are with you!
Keep on thinking of you and Evangeline and lifting her up. I hate that she is in pain! Oh Lord take this pain from her in anyway you want to. If there is anything I cando to help please let me know. 🙂
