Its 130 am and I can not sleep. Every time I close my eyes I thank something is wrong, My mind just wont stop working. Is she ok, whats going to happen next, I have been praying or talking to god I know he is listening. The Bishop from the church came by today. All 6 of us were home Chloe signed to Joshua as they blessed Carole. The kids are doing good, Dakota is hanging on to mom a little more, Still knows to ask dad for stuff. Tries to have mom get up and get milk, when mom says no he yells DAD GET ME MILK. Well im getting tired now maybe I will fall asleep. I hope everyone well and have a good day.
Night

It’s so very hard to stop the mind from going to places we’d rather avoid. Sleep for you now though is highly important as you HAVE to be there not only for Carole, but the children as well.
I know it’s got to be so very stressful for you and for Carole as well, but you must remember it’s also taking it’s toll on the kids as well.
Peaceful time – - VERY IMPORTANT – - perhaps to just look in on your children and at their sweet faces as they slumber in peaceful sleep – take pride in them – and not worry, just admire and love.
Some tips for getting back to sleep:
DO NOT get on the computer,
DO NOT turn on the TV,
DO NOT turn on a light;
Instead, take some deep breaths three times – take your mind to a peaceful lake, babbling brook, or a nice white sandy beach with soft waves rolling in.
Hang in there Jimmy!
When I feel down or whine about my accident recovery I stop a minute and think about how strong all of you are being and how much harder battle you all are fighting…and know my small problems are nothing. I keep you all in my constant prayers
you guys are an amazing family…love you
Hey Jimmie
I think you’re doing great!! yes this is one of the hardest things for you to all get through, you’ve had to take on everything Carole took care of & it’s amazing isn’t it but you’re strong & that’s because you need to be for everyone around you, but Jimmie you need to take some “ME” time or you’re going to crash, this is all new to you & I wish it weren’t, but you need time, even if it’s just an hr. you need to just take that time for you, I wish I knew what to say to you to make things better, there just aren’t any words, my tears flow every time I read the blog, I want you to know that I do read what’s here, my heart goes out to you all & you will remain in my prayers
Much Love
Angie
Jimmie i think it’s the good days that scare you worst. Bad days you can see what is happening, worst days you go the hospital and know that a doctor is caring for Carole. But good days, those are normal days, those are days just like that first day that went so wrong .. so you get scared listening for every little noise, every movement.
Honey just remember that each day is a blessing, and live it that way. Then sleep knowing that you have done everything you can in one day to see smiles, laughs, giggles and even those “DAD GET ME MILK” moments. I love you, I wish there was some magic thing I could do or say to help you sleep more than just a few minutes at time.
Big big hugs
Mom
