PRAYERS NEEDED

I should have posted this already!

So my friend Lisa adopted a son a few months ago, and the poor baby has been sick off and on since birth (basically). He was preemie and weight barely 2.5lbs. Now he is 6months old and has already been to the hospital /dr's more times then ME in my life! (Ok that might be an exageration but Im sure that is what it feels like for him and his family).

So anyway, not long ago he had to go in for emergency surgery to remove blood from between his skull and brain. But the problem that the blood has come back. Not as much but it is still there.

His entire family has a cold, a really bad yucky cold right now, and he's back in the hospital because he's been sleeping throughout the days almost all day and not drinking his bottles. So now he is on IV and the dr's are watching him, basically the symptoms could be from his cold OR from the blood (or something else even) so they want to get him over the cold to see if things change... ugh...

They might need to drain his head again if it dosnt go down on his own. And if it gets anymore blood they will go in right away for surgery again!

Aside from that terrible drama, Lisa (my friend/the mom) banged up her leg the last time they were in the hospital, and she has no time to go get that looked at. So she's feeling pretty lousy with a sick baby, banged up leg and a crappy cold!

You'd think that was the worst? Well lets add to this mix.. Their cat might have been hit by a car, they cant tell, and it would cost a lot of money to have it checked out to see, money that they dont really have set aside for the family-pets right now during their other crisis, so the cat might die.

Lisa also has an older daughter, she is 2 and she's missing her mommy and "normalcy".

PLEASE friends, take a moment and say some prayers for my friend and her family! Thank you!

Was she young?

So I was at my first babyshower in many many years (except my own a few months ago), and the twins came with me (they entertained plenty well).... Anyhow, someone asked me if twins ran in my family... I was not sure exactly how to answer this.. Well the fact is, twins DO run in MY family lol, so I said "Yes... (then paused, lets be fair here, geez).. But I am not sure if they run in their mom and dad's family, they are adopted... (another slight pause), we adopted them"~ Ok, everybody gets it, great, fine... next topic anybody??

So the lady I was mostly in conversation with leans in and asks me "So was she really young?"

*stunned* What? How do i answer that, what exactly is "really young" anyhow... She was young, sure, younger then me, and younger then I was when I got married... But she's not TOO young to be a mother... "Well, sure, she is rather young... But she does have a 3 year old daughter" I say...

That of course cant be enough questions right?

"Well, was she just not able to take care of them?"

Good gosh, Im at a baby shower, trying to enjoy myself, and how exactly is it fair for any of these questions to be answered about a girl, a mother, who is not here!~~ I wish I could be so bold to say something like this... I just said "Well, I dont know... She is a good mom to her 3 year old. Maybe the prospect of two was overwhelming?" ~! yeah that's what I said (if i remember correctly)...

bleh, I hate those questions, and I hate not being prepared to answer them, I really thought I knew how I'd answer anything.. But, Im not sure, I really dont know HOW to properly answer this question :(
