Grandma Toni is staying and Grandpa Bill has left

I asked my Mom to please stay a little longer. Having Jac in the hospital and the emotional roller coaster this has put me on has been made much easier by the presence of my Mom and my sister. Joseph is my rock - but he can only support so much weight - and I truly need the support during the tough days at the hospital.

Thank you so much Mom and Alexis for being with me when I need you most. I can't express how important family is at a time like this. You are my rocks, keeping my husband from going loony with my ups and downs.

My father has returned to La Canada and the rigors of JPL and the life outside of the hospital. It was wonderful to have him here but I am sorry we could not spend more time together since I was sick. I almost made him cry on Friday when he left - I was so distraught that day I can only imagine how he felt. Thanks Dad. You are a great father. Thanks for loaning me Mom for a little bit. We are taking good care of her and she even has a very comfortable sleeper couch to sleep on that we got with you all in mind. It has an air mattress top and we put a memory foam topper on top of that!

  1. The past two posts have made me teary. Luke is almost 11 months old, so I don't think I can blame pregnancy hormones, either. :)

    I'm glad Jac has parents with such strength and stamina, and I'm glad you have such a great support system, too.
