I am not dealing with things as well as I feel like I should be right now. I realize there's probably not a "should be" for this situation - but I guess I feel I should be able to deal and really it's about all I can do to get up every morning and face the day.
Mom is back in the hospital, now with multiple blood clots in each lung. I'm terrified, yet at the same time there's nothing I can do but pray, so I'm frustrated with myself that I'm worrying. Because it's good to beat yourself up in situations like this, you know. I know that she could end up being fine. But I also know that pulmonary embolisms aren't something that you ever want to have diagnosed (though of course, it's better to have them diagnosed than not.)
My students are driving me nuts.
The IRB where I teach has conditionally approved my study to take place at this school, but they want a few changes, one of which I'm not sure I can make. I'll see what my adviser says, hopefully soon. Though honestly right now I don't really care all that much.
It seems like everything in my life is one step ahead, six steps behind.
And I'm just not coping very well.
Prayers appreciated.

Hugs, Beth. You're in our thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteFather, thank you that we can come to you with our broken hearts and troubled spirits. We pray for Beth's Mom as she battles for good health. We pray for her doctors - that you would give them the wisdom to know how to diagnose and treat her well. We ask for your supernatural healing. We pray, too, for your grace to abound for Beth and her family at this time, as they support and care for her mother. We ask all in the name of Jesus. Amen.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle.
ReplyDeleteThanks also, Jen - that's just the right prayer.
