Got a minute...



I have never been through a hurricane, but if we had one in KY it would probably be pretty close to the way my week has been. Between visitors (which are a blessing!) "tanning time" required by our jaundice, thrush, lack of sleep, and the fact that Jake is covered up at work we are pooped! I have never had thrush before but I have been told it is miserable and my poor little one has it. I turned his tongue and cheeks white, it made it near impossible for him to eat, and turned our passy into something that caused pain instead of a comfort tool. I can't even begin to explain how terrible it is to have your child hurting or upset and not be able to do anything about it. He is to sweet, to little, and to precious to hurt already. It has been awful. Ok not all of it has been awful, just not being able to fix his hurt. He is wonderful. (As you can see in the pictures) We have made it a week at home and I am feeling more confident in my ability to be a mommy. When you are blessed with a child like Cole though being a mommy comes natural. I hope that I can steel a few more moments soon to add more pictures and keep everyone updated better. By the way I apoligize for all the phone calls I have not returned and the lack of post on here. This past week though all I seem to be able to handle is taking care of Cole.

Oh Lauren, I'm so sorry you've had a stressfull week. I didn't know Cole had thrush. Poor little fella. I hope all is better now for him and for you. I'm sending lots of prayers and hugs your way. Please call if you need anything at all. Love you!
