Separated, new baby, but still hopeful

[newmama]

Ok so I came back from my overnight visit with S at my friend's house. We had a good time! Then went to the pediatrician who confirmed S is recovering nicely and we are doing the right things to care for him at home.

Just talked to my SIL who will babysit S for me when I have an appt and I offered to babsit her boys on V day night so she and her H can go out! I told her that I have a wii so the boys can bring their games and play over here. She said she'd get back to me.

She asked how I was doing and said it was smart to stay in the present and encouraged me to pull back as much as I can but not to be a biatch about it (she knows her brother). She said that from her knowledge that she gained about As from her experience , counseling, reading, the 1 year point in an A is a "pivotal" time so it is probably a good sign that he has not filed for D yet but also thinks I am doing the right thing for hoping for best yet preparing for worst.
