Both of us barely got any sleep the whole night. Sleep interrupted by bouts of nausea, fidgeting in distress, and vomiting. I’m not even trying to go back to sleep. Witnessing is heart wrenching.
She just fell asleep from exhaustion.

My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

Welcome to my blog! My name is Esther and I’m so happy you are here. I’m an avid nature photographer and a daydreaming thinker. My posts revolve around photos of nature’s beauty, homeschooling adventures with my 2 kids, sporadic reflections on my child’s heart condition, Bible reading reflections, gardening feats, and other mish mash things. Hopefully you’ll leave encouraged, pensive, or smiling at the simple things of life. Thank you for stopping by and hope you’ll find some interesting posts to read!

Oh, Esther, my heart goes out to you and Ellis.
Sending you and Ellis lots of love. Healing prayers coming your way
Thank you, Kate!! I was so happy to see your name and your comment here. It was a boost of happiness for me.
We’re home now and taking it easy. It’ll be a very mellow Thanksgiving. And I’ve realized that life goes on and that I don’t have to be so crazy about not keeping up with schoolwork and other things.
Hope you and your boys are well!! Love
🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏 Speaking life, healing and supernatural refreshing in Jesus Name, the Great Physician.
Can’t believe this is still going on! 😢🩷
If this is of interest to you, Esther, the TWC immunity-protect product for kids and families is excellent: (I hear they are back ordered due to very high demand but are shipping this month) Adults can use this product also: https://www.twc.health/products/signature-series-kids-spike-support-formula

Hearts <3 and ((( hugs ))) for your family
Thank you, Barbara!!
so hard to witness. I hope you can rest too.
Sometimes, witnessing is harder because you feel so helpless. Glad the ordeal is over for us and we are back home!!
Have a great weekend, VJ! 🙂
That is good news, and yes, I think it is often harder on the caregiver.
Caregiver fatigue is real. She felt a bit wonky this afternoon and I went into panic mode. Thinking it may turn into something worse, I took a nap so I could be physically ready to help. Thankfully, she felt better later. whew!
Love and more love to all of you, especially Ellis.
Thank you so much, Cindy!! Feeling the love. Hugs!
I just got online and came over to see how Ellis was doing. I’m sorry to see its status quo. I’m keeping Ellis and your family in my thoughts and prayers Esther.
Thank you, Linda, for checking in on us! It was wild how her condition flip flopped. Just when she looked a bit happier, she’d turn to me and ask for a barf bag. The same thing happened throughout the day and my hope started to grow knowing that maybe the next day would be the turnaround day.
And exhausting for you staying there, watching her pain, all the IVS and feeling somewhat helpless, but being there 100% at Ellis’ side bolstered her spirits.
I have scrambled to catch up on what’s happening. Oh Esther, I lift you up in prayer … what a trial this has been.
“Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!” Ps 27:14
It was like a storm that came with a vengeance! My goodness, the nausea was so intense and debilitating.
Praying you all go complete recovery, body, mind & spirit.
, 😴🙏
🙏🙏☺️☺️
I wish speedy recovery for sweet Ellis.
Keep holding, sunshine is just way ahead
