It's "Off-the-Chain"........

Today is the kind of day that feels as ordinary as any other day....

But life around here lately feels like at any given moment, the other shoe is going to drop....

Kinda like being on call waiting for your pager to go off (they don't even make pagers anymore, do they?).......

I can only describe it as being "off the chain" .........

It's been very stressful and even more heart-draining.......

On the bright side.....

It's 3:00 in the afternoon, and my heart is beating with normal cadence

And I havent yet broken down in tears....

That is something to be thankful for.....

There is no greater suffering in life, 

Than when the health and wellness of your child is in question....

There is no escaping the dark cloud of gloom that surrounds your every thought....

I just want my child to be healthy and well.....

There isn't anything I wouldnt do to make this so....

I just have to keep praying.....

But mostly....

I just hope he knows we are right by his side through this journey....

Every step he takes, we take with him....

And even more so........

I just hope he knows how desperately we love him.....

How much we prayed for the gift of him, 16 years ago.....

How thankful we are to be his parents....

What a blessing he is to this family....

Don't give up, beautiful boy......

Don't ever give up.....

Just one foot in front of the other.....

One day at a time.....

Just one day...

Just

Today......
