You take the good, you take the bad

This has been a tough week. Starting last Wednesday it has been so up and down my head and heart are spinning!

Liam is much, much better. Thank you so much for all your prayers! They have worked wonderfully!

My step-nephew, on the other hand, is in a real bad spot. Still unconscious, still on a ventilator. They were going to try to bring him around yesterday but they decided to hold off. They have no way of knowing how long he was without oxygen so they cannot even guess as to the extent of brain damage. He does have some brain function but they cannot accurately measure until he is conscious.

Then yesterday, the other shoe fell. A friend of ours committed suicide. He was terminal with a very rare form of cancer. Treatments could have extended his life but because of the rarity of his cancer the cost monthly was almost $10,000. He decided to end his life and leave something for his wife rather than wipe out their life savings.

My heart is so heavy today. I have experienced a strange mix of sadness and happiness simultaneously. Two of my co-workers announced their pregnancies and a friend died. My step-nephew is in a coma and we have found a potential child.

There is no sun without some rain.
