My mom is unable to do dialysis without her heart stopping. She has been coded 4 times in the last week. Every time, she has come back weaker. But remains just as stubborn. We have asked if she just wants to do comfort care and she refused. She said she wanted to do dialysis even it meant she would die when they tried to rescuitate her. So, we went through with the most gentlest dialysis available.  Her lungs are filling with fluids so they were unable to wait until morning and had to do it tonight . And she crashed after 35 minutes.  They were able to revive her but now we are at a hard stop. She can't get dialysis because of her heart, but she refuses to accept this is the end. So, here we are... Crying and laughing and telling stories and making sure she is comfortable (she is mostly sleeping, waking up to make sure she has her cell phone in her hand and the nurse's call button).  And here we will stay. And wait. And cry.

My mom is very sick and won't be leaving the hospital.  This will be the hardest week of my entire life.  Although my mom can be extremely frustrating, she has always been my biggest fan and support, and a constant presence of love and support. This is a difficult walk to take.

went to a pop up boutique tonight.  It was a lot of fun.  The boys had fun, although Beckett stayed home with Jeremy.

I'm super tired.  Glad that I got all my steps in for fitbit because my bed is calling. 

I need to take some allergy medicine and hit the sack.  It's really annoying it's 40 degrees out and still have to deal with spring time allergies.  my nose is so itchy.

I wish that my mom was out of the hospital.  It must be so frustrating for her. One step forward and 10 steps back.  day by day.

Raising children is really hard.  Some days I literally go to bed hoping that I'm not raising insane people.  But, this week has been pretty good. Lots of quality time playing with the boys outside.  So thankful for warm weather. Not so thankful for allergies.  Just gotta make it until the end of May.  Which seems so far away.

Liam is going to start soccer.  I'm not sure when, because the YMCA sorta sucks about communicating.  Seriously, if your job is to do children's sports, shouldn't you let people know when the practice starts.
