Baby News!

Matthew Owen arrived today before I was able to make my planned trip and his mother's scheduled c-section for next Wed! Huge sighs of relief were heard throughout our family as we welcome this new baby into the world! After the loss two years ago none of us were calm during what seemed like a very long pregnancy! Thank you!

Life is fragile

Last night I woke up and had a "knowing flash" so sent prayers to Jean that her passing would be an easy one. Today Mom called from the dialysis clinic to say that Jean had passed yesterday afternoon, 8 days after stopping treatment! She was at home with her family just like she wanted.

Stacy has been having a lot of melt-downs since last Thursday when she felt so crummy that she thought she was either going to die or faint, I didn't care of any of the options! So, today's news about Jean has hit me hard! It's one thing knowing that dialysis is a form of life-support, but knowing how fast one can die without treatment is almost more than I can deal with.
