Just ...I am reading your blog at the end of my day. Just when I was feeling sorry for myself that I had worked so hard around the house this weekend. My body hurts, Im stiff and incredibly tired , wondering how to gather the strength to climb the steps for bed. I have nothing left in me. How many nights do you NOT feel this way? You have the weight of the world on you. I cant even imagine.<br /> You are special and God has given you an amazing family. I hope you are able to get help around the house. Maybe a high school girl off for the summer? Get out and look up! God is smiling. wish I were your neighbor so I could help you out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-3808030694925057812011-06-05T17:26:05.514-04:002011-06-05T17:26:05.514-04:00Thank you for sharing - the struggle, the hope, th...Thank you for sharing - the struggle, the hope, the questions, the waiting.

If you explained to her that Teague is in danger with the chair and encouraged her to sit on the sofa, or play on the floor, for a while. Increase the amount of time a bit each day and move the chair into another room, would this encorage her to try and become more independant? Would playing on the floor with Teague help her to use her legs more than sitting in the chair all the time? I might be way off in left field with these questions but I was just thinking.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09967195377719769332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-39963118286220762392011-06-03T08:40:46.781-04:002011-06-03T08:40:46.781-04:00Wow with tears in my eyes I am praying for you and...Wow with tears in my eyes I am praying for you and precious Wyndham. Her situation always puts my minor problems into perspective. Praying you all can get a ramp soon and Wyndham can get on her feet and outside! I have been reading a wonderful book I think you wold enjoy. It is called One Thousand Gifts by ANn Voskamp. It is about looking for and becoming more aware of God's small gifts (including gian cupcakes:) in our daily lives it has really helped me and many others have a more positive perspective on daily life.

I'...Jody, I have read your blog for many years. I've been worried about you this year because you are posting so infrequently and when you do post, they are often heavy hearted. I can't tell you how many times I have wished I lived closer to you so I could become your friend and lend a helping hand. You are an amazing mom. It's clear that you love your kids and are providing a loving, nurturing environment for them to blossom. Many, many women feel depressed and overwhelmed with motherhood and we don't have as many kids as you nor have we had to endure the hardships that you have faced. Do you have friends or family nearby that you can ask for help? You need some time away from the kids every week to recharge and rejuvenate yourself! <br /><br />I hope you can get a wheelchair ramp soon to give you and Wyndham a little more freedom. Especially with the weather getting warmer, it will pep you both up to be able to get outside to enjoy it.<br /><br />I'm praying for you Jody. Be gentle on yourself. You really are an inspiration to many readers you don't even know. We are here for moral support! <br /><br />Hugs from CA,<br />LaraLara in CAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-50043234490010233962011-06-02T22:49:11.873-04:002011-06-02T22:49:11.873-04:00Keep dancing, sweet Jody!

You need to do that. It helps us girls to just talk it out. You are going to be okay and so is Wyndham, whatever the outcome.

Recently my mom hired someone to rebuild them. You can also buy metal versions online and they are not as expensive as you might think. Far less expensive than back surgery for Mom and Dad, I'm sure! You and Wyndham need the freedom factor, so I hope you look into it, just in case that chair is around for awhile.Jan C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11503570740770226069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-40787367782870501982011-06-02T15:38:24.927-04:002011-06-02T15:38:24.927-04:00You are sounding better...keep you head high and y...You are sounding better...keep you head high and your heart open.
