I have been so thankful for all the help, but have to spend a few moments on thanking my incredible parents. They have supported us in many ways and have been the main caregivers for Avery over these last weeks. They have been so flexible in driving Avery back and forth to see us, changing plans to accommodate what we need, doing laundry, taking us out for meals... pretty much doing anything and everything we ask. I really do not know what we would do without them. We love you Mom and Dad and are so grateful for everything you do!

The view from here
As Jaron previously posted, it has been a rough 2 days. Riley is still struggling with bloating, gas, diarrhea, and horrible discomfort. She is not able to eat and the poor girl's butt must be hurting like crazy from so many diaper changes. I feel so sad for her and the hardest part is we cannot really do much to comfort her. I have been feeling so frustrated and since I am already sleep deprived my patience is thin. I am ready for her to be better, to be home in my own bed, and back to a normal routine. I have cried too many times to count over the past 2 weeks and am ready for this to be a distant memory. I just want her to be well.

ReplyDeleteYou have been in our thougths. We will continue to pray for patience, strength, restfulness and peace for you all. We pray for continued healing of Riley. I'm so sorry you have to go through this.
Oh, Jenni, I'm crying for you right now so you can add that to your list. This is so unfair!!! I am praying you guys get some sleep tonight....this is so brutal. Even though those pictures were really sad I'm glad you posted them so that I can be reminded to pray even more for all of you.
ReplyDeleteOh Jenni I am so thankful that you have your parents. They always have been pretty special, doing thoughtful and caring things and giving so much.
ReplyDeleteThey love you so much and are showing it in so many ways. I am glad that you are able to lean on them.
I hope and pray that you get some sleep because I understand how that affects moods and feelings and just the way one looks at things.
You are doing an amazing job in handling all this. Of course you want to be home and that is the prayer of all of us that home will be your reality very soon snuggling with both of your sweet little girls.
Sleep well tonight kiddo!
Love, Amanda
Jenni and Jaron: I am thankful that your parents and all of your family and friends that live close by have been able to be there for you and do those things like laundry, meals, taking care of Avery, visiting, and supporting all of you. I'm sure it must be exhausting and frustrating. I pray too that there will be a turn around and all of Riley's discomfort will be taken away soon. Your blog has been such an inspiration of faith and trust. Hold on!! Love, Shawn
