I have had so many people amazed that I am still positive after all these weeks. They are impressed I'm not bored to death or going crazy. The doctor who was here the night I was admitted and has watched my entire journey told my nurse today that I had an "uplifting spirit". He said, "I've never had a patient on bed rest this long be so positive". I'm touched by these words today as I look 31 weeks in the face. I knew when this journey began that I would need to be sound. Sound in mind, sound in body and sound in soul. All of those work together. I could not sacrifice one for the other. Thank you so very much Dr. Kingsley, but I'm just doing what I NEED to do. I need to do this for my husband and his son. I need to do this for my daughters and their brother. I need to do this for our parents and their first grandson. I need to do this for our siblings and their nephew. Ultimately, I need to do this for my baby boy.
Now, don't be fooled. I have had two very hard mental days since I've been here. Two out of 39 days is pretty good. I'm sure there will be others. Thank goodness I have quite the village to turn to when I'm feeling emotional. I can't thank my God, family and friends enough. God has really been working me over while I've rested in solitude with him for hours and days. I will be forever changed in many ways by this experience.
