Update on my Saga.....

Morning everyone! I hope all is well. I have been busy going to the hospital to visit and assist in caring for Norronda and the baby. My ex did pick the baby up on Friday afternoon so I have had a few days off. I am feeling somewhat rejuvinated.
Norronda has been doing very well. She had to have a biopsy of the heart yesterday. Apparently she had a few issues and they moved her back into the Cardiac ICU. I went to sit with her for a while last night. She was still intubated. The anesthsia really had her knocked out. They didn't want to remove the breathing tube until she was awake.
I spoke with her cardiologist as well yesterday. They had done an echocardiogram as well and she viewed it while on the phone with me. She said the left ventricle is beating like crazy and was so pleased. She explained that Norronda is experiencing some normal reactions following a transplant and that she is doing very well.
My eldest nephew is expected in town this week. He and his gf are flying in form Calif. They will pick up his sister in NJ and then go stay with my mother for a few days. My mom is so excited to see Quinn and Savannah. I hope to be able to spend some time with them while they are here. I haven't seen Quinn since my brother's funeral about 8 years ago.
I am also going to be selfish. I am taking the next 3 days off of work. I realized I need some time as I feel like I am close to a melt down. I have had so much on my plate lately.  I was invited to go to a time share spot with someone. I don't know if I will. I think even just staying home and sitting on my front porch with a good book will be just what I need.
I started a new position last week. It is just temporary right now, but I think it will be permanent. The job is very different from what I am used to doing after so many years. I am in a supervisory position of a department. Like I said- I need some time to me.
Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day and week.

Aime,
I have been on/off the board through some summer travels and have not followed all of this all along. I am so sorry!  But based on your post, it seems you have really had your share this summer!

I will keep you and your family in my prayers!

Aime you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Take time for yourself, that is not selfish at all. Sometimes you need that break to catch your breathe. Hope N has a smooth and speedy recovery

Aime -

I've been thinking of you.  I'm so glad to hear that N is doing as well as can be expected.  You've all been through so much.  Please know that we continue to be here for whatever you need.

Hang in there.  And yes, by all means, you need to take time for yourself.  Rest and relax - physically AND mentally.

Hugs,

Tia

I know this has got to be so exhausting to you and the family. I will continue to keep N in my thoughts. I hope she recovers quickly so she can enjoy LP.

Take time for yourself you need it and deserve it. 

Congrats on your new position.

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.

Aime, I am glad you updated us and I hope things with the baby's heart continue to go well.  Take it easy and having some me-time is not selfish.  It's well deserved!  Hugs,

Aime,

Sorry to hear....

I haven't been around much either... (too much drama in my own life at the moment)

I am between jobs at the moment though... (and desperately looking for another)

If you need any help this week...just give me a PM..... Just me and the dogs at home at the moment. (well dh is here but he goes to work every day.)
