I did go over and read. It was very helpful. Sorry I have not been checking in with everyone but times are stressful. I will give you a quick run down...

Today my oldest is going in to prep for surgery. The surgery itself is tomorrow. I am told that the recovery time is usually 4-10 days in the hospital. I have taken this week off to be with him or to care for my youngest. It is going to be a very stressful time not only with my son in the hospital, but I am sure that the power plays of W and her family are going to be insane. I picked older son up yesterday for his paralympic practice and the W was yelling at everything. Asked what was wrong and why she was yelling... "because". So I left with son. Came back, she is still stressed and upset. I asked her again, in a caring voice, what is going on? Is there anything that I can do? No real answer, so i dropped it. She did share just a bit that next week she was going to look like the 'turd'. I have no idea what that meant. But she has been trying to persuade me to not stay in the hospital the whole time. I am thinking that she will not be able to, so she is feeling guilty. Who knows. but I do know that it is going to be crazy with both of us in the room together for long periods of time. Anyway, I am not there for her, I am there for my son. I will not be up there the whole time, because i know that my 2 year old will not be able to sit still the whole time.

I do not know why she is acting like she hates me. I have done nothing to her at all to warrant that. I have been very understanding and helpful through all this. UGH!!!!

I will try to check in with everyone as I can. Hopefully I can find a place in the hospital that I can get online.
