Day #16....Sadness In My Heart



Mondays seem to be the hardest days to get through. Today, I felt sadness all day long. Trying to hold onto the the wonderful weekend and great times we shared together often would help me start a new week. Today was different, my heart felt sad from the moment I stepped out of bed. Maybe it was just facing another week alone. I thought to myself...It will get easier, this is what they tell me. Well, today got harder as the day went on. Reese's first feeding went just OK. Her second feeding slowly showed signs of refusal. By the third and fourth feeding my daughter refused all bites. My heart broke and I thought to myself this is not happening. How could she do so well with accepting and suddenly refuse an entire feeding session. She did not accept one bite out of sixty bites. I wish I knew all the answers and this day I prayed please help me! I feel like I'm loosing this battle!

Hi Reese & Trish,
We are so glad you had such a wonderful 1st Birthday with your whole family with you to celebrate. We love looking at all your pictures and seeing how happy you are with your family by your side. I keep reading the poem that your daddy wrote to you and I just am moved to tears. I never knew your daddy was such a poet.
Trish I know how hard this is on you and I pray every day that God gives you the strength to continue down this road to Reese's recovery. We love & miss you & pray for you always.

Love & Kisses,
Aunt Adele & Uncle Tony

Trish,

I hope Tuesday went better then Monday. I am sorry that is was such a rough day - I think no matter how good things are going or how great the weekend was - it is only natural to feel a little down - you are living away from home, from John and the boys and that in itself can be hard. Let yourself feel sad and then remember how far Reese has come and how much she has already learned ....:-)

And lean on family and friends - we are here if you need us!
