Tough times

Well, we have certainly been busy, over the past week Spencer had his last soccer game and his awards banquet. Gary went back to work this week and I have been taking care of Tucker solo. It's hard enough taking care of a healthy newborn, keeping up with daily weight gains, oxygen readings and medications is physically exhausting.

To add to our stress, Saturday, my best friend Kelli's (from Maine) 9 day old niece Peyton died from SIDS. You can imagine our sorrow as my family is very close to hers, Nelson her brother is
one of my brother, Chris's best friends. (ironically, their friendship is how Kelli and I even met over 20 years ago). We have been through some of the greatest times together, our marriages, the birth of our children, and we have countless party stories. We have also shared some of the toughest of times, with the loss of our dear friend Dave. Through thick and thin, we have always been side by side, until now. Because of Tucker's compromised immune system and we can not risk him getting sick, since it will land us back at Childrens's Hospital, we can not travel to Maine to attend the services. This is devastating me, because all I want to be is with her and her family at this terrible time.

Let's hope that things get a little brighter.
