Although I realize it may seem that way. Mainly, I’ve been stressing and exhausting. And It’s very hard for me to write when I’m stressed or exhausted. The stresses have been that the child support suddenly ended, so we’re not able to meet our expenses again. That, and Baby is expected in a mere six […]

Well, it’s official: either this blog is a hit, or I’ve let it get to my head. Either way, what it means is that now there’s a discussion group for readers and others.

She is barely conscious now, and only awake a couple hours a day. They decided to discontinue treatment and just try to make her comfortable. She’s going […]
