So Much Is Happening - WHOAH

But I’m Very Busy So Very Stoic & Melancholy With This Post

I’m Starting To Feel The Baby Move A Bit Which Is Cool. I’m Now About 4 Months Along And Can No Longer Pull My Knees Up To My Chest While I’m At The Computer - They Now Lear Over To My Side. And In The Next Week Or So I’m Not Going To Be Able To Sleep On My Tummy. I’m Regularly A Stomach Sleeper So I Don’t Get A Good Night Sleep While I’m Pregnant. Sleepless Nights Are Fast Approaching. Heck - I’m In Trouble! I’m Supposed To Have An Ultra Sound In A Few Weeks - I Guess I Better Call & Make An Appointment Huh? Gosh Its Just Hard To Plan It With A Hubby’s Work Schedule - HE Makes It Hard For Me To Schedule Anything. Now Add That Nicholas’ Is In School Starting Tomorrow ugh>>>>

Well, We’ve Had A Death In Our Extended “Adopted” Family - Jared England Who Was The Kid’s God Father Died On Thursday Afternoon In His Sleep. Jared Has Had Health Problems For Years And Was Told Years Ago That He Was Terminally Ill. We All Knew That His Life Was Going To Be Cut Short So The Family Has Had Time To Enjoy Life Will He Was Still Alive. At Least It Wasn’t A Sudden Unexpected Death. So His Funeral Is Thursday At Their Family Home

Take A Look At His Wife Steph’s Myspace Page

Well Also Happening This Week - Nicholas Starts Jr High Tomorrow - We’ve Spent The Last Week Getting Ready. If I Call Up The School And Ask If I Can Have Another Month To Get Him Ready, Do You Think They’ll Give It To Me? I Didn’t Think So Either - LOL! The Problem Is They Have A DAMNED Dress Code. Nicholas Has So Many Clothes - With Stripes Logos, Designs etc. All Outlawed By The Dress Code Policy At His School. We Are Barely Scraping By The Skin Of Our Teeth To Get By Right Now Let Alone To Get Him School Supplies AND Pay For New Clothes When He Has A Ton Already. UGH!

I No Longer Run BridgerHunt.com Because The Family Felt It Needed To Be Ran By Someone In The Family Which Is Understandable - I Would Want To Run It Within My Own Family Too If My Family Was Going Through Something Like That. I Just Feel Kind Of Bad About Not Running It Because It Was My Way Of Helping Out That Family. I Do Feel Kind Of Bad About That But Do Understand. Bridger Is Doing Better. He’s Awake & Out Of His Coma. I’m Not Sure What Is Happening With Things Now But I Know He’s Doing Better!

Hey Everyone, I Just Thought I’d Let You Know That Donations To Bridger Hunt Are Now Possible - A Donations Account Via Paypal Was Set Up For Bridger & The Info Was Sent To Me Courtesy Of Bridger’s Grandpa Terry So If You Want To Donate You Can Here Or At BRIDGERHUNT.COM So If You Want To Donate Now You Can. I’ve Had A Few People Ask How And Here Is The Option

Now For My Stuff….

I’ve Set Up A Safelist For Business Shopping Sites And I’m Oober Exited For That. Check Out Shanni’s Ad Network At http://candosafelists.com/cr4u4

Well, My Hubby Just Briefly Came Back From The Hospital & Running Errands. He Saw Bridger. They Pulled Bridger Out Of The Medically Induced Coma They Had To Put Him In For A While. I Guess They Have Placed Tubes Down Bridger’s Throat For Some Reason. I Don’t Know Why? But The Little Guy Is Terrified And If Someone Let’s Go Of His Hand He Starts To Squirm And Kick. Gosh, To Hear All This Just Put Me In Tears & Just Saddens Me To No End. There Are No Words I Just Feel So Bad. My Hubby Said That Bridger Is Most Likely Losing His Leg This Week Or Next. Can You Imagine? Such A Humbling Reality And One That Makes You Just Want To Ask That Question - WHY?

I Just Don’t Know How To Feel Or Could Even Imagine What The Family Is Going Through. I Just Know That We Have Grown To Love & So Much Compassion For This Kid & His Family, Its Just So Heartbreaking…

Please Continue To Pray - If Ever There Was A Family That Needs Prayers Said Right Now, Its This One. Please Keep Them In Your Prayers & Thanks So Much.

I’ve Gotta Head Off To Bed Now. I’ve Got A Lot To Do Tomorrow To Get Nicholas Ready For School - He Starts 7th Grade On August 25th And The Child Support Check We Got From His Dad Has Taken Its Darn Sweet Time To Get Here - Not In The Time We’ve Needed It For Nicholas - GRR… So Life Has Been Frustrating.

I’ve Sent Out An Email To My MPD Members About Bridger & Life And Said I Won’t Be Sending Out Emails As Frequent Due To All This But Will Still Be Of Support To You All - I Mean It, I’m Still Here If You Need Me. This Is Just One Of Those Times In Life To Be Grateful To Be A WAHM & Set My Own Hours So I Can Be There For My Kids & Loved Ones…Lili Is Doing Great She’s A Great Little Girl - My “Walkin’ Talkin’ Angel Baby” And I Love Her So! I’m Almost 4 Months Pregnant Now And Starting To Show & Feel Baby Move - All The Mamas Can Testify That It Is An Amazing Feeling And One That Makes Us Grateful That We Are The Ones That Can Be Pregnant And Have This Blessing Even When These Blessings Wake Us In The Middle Of The Night While We’re Sleeping To Punch Us In The Ribs Or Our Bladders! Would We Have It Any Other Way Though? No We Wouldn’t!

So Please Pray For The Family….
Good Night Everyone - Shanni

Well I’m Headed To Bed For The Night. I Have A Long Day Ahead Tomorrow. I Have To Register Nicholas For School Tomorrow. I Just Found Out He Starts School The 25th And His Registration Days Are Today & Tomorrow…Oops! With All The Crazy Busy-ness In Life Right Now I Hadn’t Opened The Packet The School Sent Til Today - Spaced It. So We Have To Do This Tomorrow. Plus I Have Newsletters To Send Out To All 3 Of My Exchanges - Woohoo….

So We’ve Talked To Mindy Again - Bridger Is Not Responding To The Antibiotics Used To Treat His Leg Injury So They Don’t Know What’s Going To Happen Next. The Docs Are Deciding If Bridger Is Going To Be Pulled Out Of His Coma In The Next Few Days. Its All Frustrating To Watch A Child Go Through - Imagine Being Mindy….

And Then… Bridger’s Friend Got Hurt Last Night Too - He Was Playing At A Park With A Bunch Of Kids And The Kid Was Wrapped Up Like A Mummy And Somehow A Lighter Sparked And Caught The Tissue On Fire. This Kid, I Think His Name Is Tyler? Has Burns On 40% Of His Body And Will Be Up At Primary Children’s Hospital For Weeks Too - So Bridger & His Friend Are In The Hospital Together. Good Grief - When Are Tragic Events Going To Stop Happening For Kids!

So Please Pray For Both Kids Now….

Anyways So I’m Off To Bed. Good Night Everyone!

PS - Waterrose Creations (Whom I’m A Paid Pioneer Level Rep For) Is Open Again - WOOHOO! Long Awaited Re-Opening. But The Owner’s Daughter Has Suffered Her Own Trials So They Had To Close For A While. But They’re Re-Opened & I’m Exited. If You’d Like To Check Out Waterrose Creations - Follow This Banner & Shop. It Is A Beautiful Site With Great Products And I’m Trying To Earn Some Great Gifts For Mindy & Her Daughter Timberlyn - I Think Timberlyn Needs Something Special For Herself & Mindy Could Use Some Personal Pampering Herself To Take Her Mind Off Things For A Minute! Thanks Everyone

Part Of The Reason I Created This Blog Was Because I Needed To Vent About What’s Happened To Bridger And Just Life etc….

Well I’m A Bit On Edge Today Because Bridger Is Still In The Medically Induced Coma And The Docs Were Hoping To Take Him Out On Saturday I Think. But Supposedly Today Is The Day. But Don’t Take My Word For It - Ask The Family?? According To My Hubby, They’re Deciding Whether To Amputate Bridger’s Leg Because The Injury & Infection Is So Severe. Mindy Told Me The Other Day They Didn’t Know When They Were Going To Take Him Out Of The Coma Because Bridger’s Leg Is So Infected. Possibly The Docs Are Trying To Decide What To Do Next. According To The Local News Last Night, Bridger Opened His Eyes Last Night Momentarily. They Also Said That He Would Likely Be Out Of The Coma Today. I’m Not Planning On Reporting Any More Until I See What Actually Happens Rather Than What People Say Is Going To Happen. I Just Know That I Feel Bad Because This Kid Was Such An Athletic Kid - Loves Skateboards, Riding His Bike, The Outdoors. And If The Inevitable Happens, Then What? Its Enough To Keep Us On The Edge. Technically I Have Never Met Bridger And I’ve Only Spoken Once To Mindy. We Knew Their Cousin Tyson For A While And That’s How We’ve Come To Know & Be So Involved With Them. And Once You’re Involved - Your Heart Is In It. You Can’t Help But Love & Feel For This Family And Be Heartbroken For Them At The Same Time…. So All I Can Ask Is That Anyone Who Can, Try To Help Contribute To The Family At Bridger’s Site. If You Can’t, Please Keep Them In Your Prayers. They Need Prayers & Miracles To Help This Kid Through….Please Pray With Us
