You must feel like you are in a black hole of sorts, but there will be light at the end of the tunnel. One day at a time must be your mantra right now. Does Lily have enough strength to do any activity books while she is at the hospital? Jack loves the I Spy books right now or anything that he has to search and find clues for things hidden in pictures. I can send something like that Lily's way, but didn't know if she would have the energy for that right now. I am thinking of you all ALL of the time and hate being so far away. Thanks for the updates -- I check for them every day. I hope you are getting some rest if at all possible, but I know that must be so hard when every moment you are focused on Lily and the discomfort she is in right now. I sent a big hug to you!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-129030241525479145.post-62407834207018332792008-12-05T05:02:00.000-10:002008-12-05T05:02:00.000-10:00I am sending as many virtual hugs to you as I can!...I am sending as many virtual hugs to you as I can!!!!!!!<BR/>HeidiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-129030241525479145.post-4527311280202689612008-12-05T04:08:00.000-10:002008-12-05T04:08:00.000-10:00My dad (Uncle Joe) and I have always brushed off "...My dad (Uncle Joe) and I have always brushed off "signs" to be simply coincidences. This summer I was running our John Deere tractor, the Goodyear blimp floated by, and a Beach Boys tune came on over my IPod (for those of you that don't know the Connolly family history - this would be a Cousin Eric angel trifecta). I quickly fast forwarded the song and kept my head down - there was plowing to be done. Yesterday I was driving down Highway 1 in California and started to cry. At first because I finally realized I was overwhelmed by my job change and relocation from OH to CA. The tears continued after I thought of you across the pond - and how selfish I am to breakdown over something so silly. I simply told myself, "Jenny is my younger cousin and if she can keep the balls in the air, I can keep the balls in the air, but how the heck is she doing it!?!?!?! <BR/>I pulled over to take a moment and turn up the radio and the "One Sweet Day" Boyz 2 Men/Mariah Carey duo came on. We all surf by this one, but I hesitated and suddenly found myself in the hospice with my mom (Aunt Joan). She would watch MTV instead of silly soap operas and when this video came on she squeezed my hand and said, "what a nice song...." (this coming from a women who frequently tortured me with ABBA and the Xanadu soundtrack at a very young age.) <BR/> I listened without switching channels, wiped away the tears, and proudly sang along, “And I know you’re shining down on me from heaven….” Sign or coincidence – I’m still not sure, I but I can’t ignore the army up there…. they are all watching over Lily.<BR/>xoxo AmiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-129030241525479145.post-78515091114159658862008-12-04T20:26:00.000-10:002008-12-04T20:26:00.000-10:00I'm so sorry you guys are back to the hospital alr...I'm so sorry you guys are back to the hospital already after such a short time at home.
