I have never been a very patient person to tell the truth, I hate waiting more than anything I think, and that is all I can do now and it is driving me crazy! I actually feel like just running and screaming until I can't go anymore. I know that wouldn't help anything at all, but it might let some of the tension out, and at least I would be doing something other than worrying and crying. I've tried to vent with Greg but that just hasn't worked, he doesn't let his emotions show very often, and he thinks I'm just making myself more of a basket case. I tried to talk to my mom, but she ends up crying and telling me I shouldn't think the worst, and I end up having to comfort her. I think trying to prepare myself for the worst might be best that way if the news is bad I will be a little better able to deal with it, and on the other hand if the news is good then I will be more thankful for the miracle.

Chantaye is feeling alot better now, she didn't take anything for pain yesterday or today! She said it hurts some but not bad enough to need medicine, I am so thankful for that! I hadn't really expected her to do this well, this quickly so I know it has to be the prayers that are helping her.

I just looked over at her now, I thought she was still reading and she has fallen asleep here in front of the stove, I guess she must still be a little cold since we had snow Tuesday night, which amounted to about 3 inches! lol

I've got a couple of pics of her to post too, as soon as I get them off the digital and resized, I'll try to get that done over the weekend if not before.

I'm off to try to carry her to my bed now, she's still not ready to go back to sleeping in her room, except for her day-time naps.

Hi Aretha, this is my first visit... and I'm very sorry to hear of Chantaye's health problems!! I'll keep her & the rest of your family in my prayers & hope that the results aren't as bad as you dread!
I know how terrible waiting can be... I'm going to check-up myself on Tuesday & the waiting before & just after the check-ups are just awful!!
Take care. Hugs, Nanou

Hi Aretha,

So glad to read that Chantaye made it safely out of the surgery and is doing better. I pray that the news you receive is nothing bad. Will keep checking up on you guys.

God Bless you and your family!
Big Hugs~Michelle

Dear Aretha, I know being patient and waiting on the results is very hard on you and everyone. Yes you need to go running, crying and screaming, but That precious child needs you to be strong for her. While she sleeps find a quiet spot dear one and talk to God, let it all out even your anger, he hears, he knows, he cares and he provides comfort for you. I am praying. I wish I had someway to provide more support. I feel at such a loss for you, My prayers are all I can offer. The will continue for you,Chantaye and all the family. Always, not just when there is a crisis but just because I love you all. God Bless...

I am so happy to hear that little Chantaye is doing better. Keep your chin up....don't get yourself down. Hugs to you, my friend. :)

Hi Aretha! So glad to hear that Chantaye is doing well! *Ü* She's such a tough lil' trooper and that should give you a little advanced notice that she CAN handle this.

I told ya, anytime you need to chat, I'm here. You're not going to have to pick me up or console me - I've been there - and now maybe I can console you.

You are right about what you said... my motto was "Prepare for the worst, expect the best!" You're going to be ready no matter what happens!

*hugs*

Posted by Andrea @ 04/16/2004 08:34 AM CST

Good Morning Aretha, oh that is good news that Chantaye didn't need the pain meds. I know how hard this time of waiting is! Take comfort in the Lord, He is your comforter. Praying for you all for good reports. Hugs!

Posted by Kathy @ 04/16/2004 06:59 AM CST

Hi ladies :D just popping in to wish you the very best and a good weekend ahead too. I know the waiting is the hardest part hon but they say "no news is good news" and when it does come, I pray it'll be the news you want and need to hear :) Always thinking of you. Love and hugs xoxoxo

Posted by Mari @ 04/16/2004 02:26 AM CST

Hey Aretha, i've still been praying for your Angel!! Yestserday was he** for me, I'm glad it was good for you as in she didn't need to take anything for the pain. Travis and I broke up...not even for temporary...but for GOOD. Sigh. I'd tell ya all about it here but you know how I am, so look for an email in your inbox sometime soon. Guys are just something else!! I also redid my site index in light of what happened between me and Travis and gosh darnit it STILL won't let me save Chantaye's page, I have cried over this, it's really making me...ok no anger here!! please know i love you and pray that Chantaye will get better!!
