The aftermath

[keurigirl]

I am simply exhausted. Weary, actually, would be a better word for it. I'm just weary. I want to sleep for days, not think about a single thing, and have no commitments at all

If you can take each day for now as it comes, Abby is better and getting better everyday. I can't imagine going through what you just went through you sound rational and I would imagine your body just needs a few more day to get caught up while you absorp what has happened. {{HUGS}}

What you are going through and feeling sounds completely normal, I would think. what a scary situation and a lot to take in. I will be thinking of you all...

I think it's understandable to have something like post-traumatic stress... but I also think if you're feeling overwhelmed and like it's too much, that you should see someone... just to help you work through it all and help you cope. It sounds like you're going to have to be vigilant for a while, and even that would be stressful....

I'm glad she's getting better!

I think Kara's advice is wonderful. This is one of those times you just need to focus on each day as it comes. You have so much on your plate and I'm sure the endless possibilities of what might happen to Abby that would throw you guys into another bad experience is daunting in the least. I know I would tear myself inside out to keep my child from going through all that a second time. It's also important for you to stay rested and sharp too. That means taking it easy when you can. I'm just so sorry Steph. I'm so glad she is on the mend but this sounds like it's far from over.

I'm sending you lots of hugs,
e.

Steph, every day is a new day, a different day and a day when Abby is getting better and you can set a goal for that day - even if it means relaxing and sleeping. You DID just go through a major ordeal and your mama bear instinct kicked in, no wonder you are feeling as you do. It sounds like there is a lot to do following and you have some great info now on what to do and how to treat this. I already said, please let me know if there is anything we can do!
