January 3

I can't sleep... My mind keeps thinking about everything. I have a rash on my hands from washing my hands so much and from scratching them from stress without knowing it.

Both my daughters have been so thoughtful during this time with everything that is going on. I know they are feeling the stress too and dealing with a lot. They both have shown in their own way that they love and care about their family.

Kendra had the opportunity to stay home the other night with her Dad and not go to my parents house. She wanted to go with me and it helped me so much. I was so tired and do not know if I could have made it through the night without her help. She helped keep me focused and awake during the drive home. Then when we got home she knew I was stressed out and she brushed my hair and rubbed my back and shoulders till I fell asleep. I am so proud of her and her sister for all the help they have given their family. They both are amazing girls and their Dad and I are so proud of them!!

4:00pm I am sitting here with Mom and Ken and the girls took Rick up to the hospital to see Dad. Mom has been given her liquid vitamins and feeding. Rick will give her her second breathing treatment when he gets back from the hospital.

Well... got back over to Mom and Dad's house about 7:00pm. It is just me tonight. My brother was really tired after pulling a long day by his self yesterday. I wanted to get here earlier so he could get to bed earlier tonight. I will be leaving here about 4:00 am. Right now Mom is resting peacefully. Ken told me earlier today when they went up to see Dad when he yawned he lifted his left arm up. That is my positive thing for today! Thank you Lord!
