A HUGE THANK YOU AND BLESS YOU ALL

Hi, Primmies,
I want to thank all of you for the overwhelming flood of love and support that you've sent to Ashley and our family. It's just wonderful that I have made such warm, loving and caring friends. I hope to be up and running back to my old blabbering self this weekend. You know what I'm saying, I've had some really long posts and more than one a day!
Ashley is doing well today. She's on some meds for infections, a precaution I'm sure, for the cramping, etc. I just spoke with her before I saw all the comments and she's quiet and says she's o.k.. I think she's trying really hard, she asked us to take her pregnancy book home with us last night. Tim told her she should write in it about what happened, the ultrasounds are in it from all the babies, but she said she can't. So that tells me she's not quite alright yet. I told her it would help bring closure, she nodded her head. I'll let her think about it for a week or so and try again. That's the reason I haven't showed her all the beautiful, sweet comments from all of you. It would warm her heart, I'm sure but I think it's too much for her right now. I will
tell her this weekend. 
I want to thank you so very much again. It doesn't seem like enough
to say but I am very grateful. I realize that there are many people with  much more serious health and family issues, battling illnesses and
I want you to know that I feel the love from all of you.
God Bless All Of You,
Susan and Family

A Bit More Sad News

Hi, everyone, I wanted to thank each of you that left the beautiful comments. They do help, and yes hugs help, too. I'm sorry I'm not
commenting yet, I can't stay on here too long. As much joy as this
always brought me, it's the one thing I can't seem to do right now.
Ashley came home from the hospital tonight. I just got home here
a little bit ago. She is alright, but what has happened is that she
was pregnant, and twelve weeks along. The heartbeat was good and
we thought everything was good this time, she's lost two others.
Well, she stopped having morning sickness  and just felt wrong.
It seems when she went for her 13 week ultrasound the heart was
no longer beating. The baby had been gone for about a week or so.
They wanted her to wait to see if she would miscarry on her own
but a week passed and no. It was awful for her to have the baby inside
her and know it was gone. I can't imagine how she functioned. But
she's strong, and she did. Today they told us that she's a carrier for
cystic fibrosis and that could be why she can't keep the pregnancies
and if her husband is, that's a problem. So, I just wanted to be
respectful to all of you and read your comments and know how much
they mean to us. 
I hope that things will be back to normal soon. It's snowing like hell
and my mother and sister are due in to Boston Logan Airport at
midnight from Italy. Geesh, what else?
Warm Regards,
Susan

Very Sad News

I'm sorry I haven't been writing. We received some very sad news about my daughter's health. She must go to the hospital to have a procedure done and then the recovery will begin. It's more emotional than anything. We could fix the hurts for our kids when they were little, a kiss and maybe a coloring book and crayons when they were sick in bed. But that won't do it this time, I'm afraid. She's a grown woman now and there's little I can do except be there and let her know how much I love her. Time will fix the wounds as it always does, but the memory will take time to fade. There is a very
big empty space inside me, too right now. But I have to think of only her and my SIL's feelings now.
I will blog when I can talk about it with all of you.
It's just too difficult right now, my hands shake and the tears come unexpectedly and I can't see what I'm doing or type the right keys. My heart isn't here right now with my love of blogging. I'm going to curl up next to Mr. Glen Oaks for some comfort.
I love all of you and I will write when I can, hopefully in the next couple of days.
