"He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm,
and carry them close to his heart, and shall gently lead those that are with young." Isaiah 40:11

Beautiful blessed sleep...

We are all doing so much better.  Our stay at the Flames House was so very good for us.  What would we do without this place or without night respite at home?  It's hard to imagine.  I slept last night - and it was the deep kind..It has been such a long time since I have known sleep like this and it was so very wonderful.  Rachel is doing very well.  She is eating constantly though so this keeps me very busy during the day. And she has a bit of a cold from our other kids.  Our respite worker says she continues to eat every hour at night.  I am planning to start journaling a little more before bed - the old fashioned way with pen and paper.  This way I can dump and spew my thoughts out - without having to edit what I write.  And this might help with the insomnia thing.  So I may not be on here as often but we will certainly continue to post updates on Rachel when we can.  Thank-you so much for your prayers this last week!  I have been blessed by your thoughts and advice as well! You have certainly helped us in our decision making....now that my head is much clearer, we will hopefully get some of these things done: D

And my mom is coming out on Friday and staying for 8 days!!! I can hardly wait...

So relieved to hear that you are doing better! Was getting a little worried. And I'm so happy that your Mom is coming out to be with you for a little while. That will probably help you sleep too.

I'm so happy to hear that you've caught up a bit on your sleep! Things do get so much more difficult when you're tired. And very happy to hear that Rachel is doing well, after those difficult days. Love, Jen
