After being in traction for 56 days I finally convinced my hubby he could lay in the hospital bed and cuddle with me. It was the most wonderful feeling in the world to get to cuddle with him after not cuddling for so long. So today I appreciate my amazingly wonderful supportive husband. Last night was really rough for me so I called him every few hours to give him an update on how baby and I were doing and he faithfully answered the phone every time I called - even though he had worked a 13 hour day and was exhausted. Some people would sleep right thru phone calls but he worries about his wife and daughter. He's such a selfless person he thinks of everyone else before himself. He would do anything to help me if there was anything he could do. So I feel very lucky and blessed to have such a wonderful husband and father to my daughter.
So many people have helped my family and I out so much since the accident. From my amazing sorority sister starting a fundraiser to help with my Tastefully Simple, to people that don't even know me ordering from the cause, or the donations people have sent for our family or the many cards and gifts we've received its all been greatly appreciated. It puts so much faith in me to know that there are still such wonderful people in the world, and we are very blessed to have them in our lives. So thank you to those wonderful people that have shown such support to us in this difficult time for us. It always brightens my spirits when I get those random get well cards or those just to say hello cards, the packages with the activities to help pass time, the random flowers and just the messages checking in. I know that my husband and I are very loved and cared about and I'm quite certain our daughter will be so loved and cared about! Thank you so much to everyone who has done anything for us no matter how big or small it is greatly appreciated!!! We love you all!
Little things to be thankful for today well mine truly are very little things. First bending your knee. My knee has been straight since I've been in traction. And for those of you that I've talked to I keep saying what I wouldn't give to be able to bend my knee. I can only imagine the long road it will take me to be able to bend it again. But when I can finally bend it again I'm quite positive I'll sleep much better. Plus I'll be able to walk when I can bend it again which is so close I can start to see that light!!! Secondly I'm thankful for phones. Because of the wonderful technology of phones I am able to talk to family and friends that live all over near and far. It allows me to keep in touch with people and keep them up to date on what is happening and how Charlotte is doing. So take the minute or two to pick up the phone and call that loved one you haven't talked to in a while. It will help you both appreciate the technology we have! <3
