Hello, I am Sami and welcome to my blog. For a few weeks now, I have been feeling some really big "growth spurts" inside of me. I am 30 something wife, mom/stepmom who has always put her children first. As of this year one of our sons will become an adult, two of our children will become teens and one will become a preteen. While I will continue to make my children a priority I must put my husband and our marriage first. I will also focus on bringing the woman within me out. I look forward to this new chapter in my life in order to watch our children grow into responsible adults, to love and cherish my husband and to be the beautiful, confident woman God created. Please join me in my journey and always feel free to comment, offer advise, or just say hello!
Hi Sami .. good to be back from Africa and love your site
Well I am back to work. Everything seemed to go fairly smooth so I am not bombarded on my first day back. I do have some updates to make to our Business Contigency Plan as I hear we had an engineer resign while I was gone and we hired someone to replace my co-worker who left in January. All pretty easy stuff though. I did have to come back to some awful loud noises though. I work on the bottom level floor and where my office is located it actually used to be data center floor. Which if you are not familiar with data center floor it is raised 2 feet above the ground level so that cooling can be forced so that computer devices can be kept "cool". I have always been incredibly cold in my office. There have been days I had to wear my coat and gloves in order to maintain my body heat. So I asked to have heating put in my office in which my managers happily agreed to. The process of getting the heat installed has been a long one. The guys started about 4 weeks ago by installing the pipes in the ceilings and from there other guys have been in doing other things up in the ceilings. Today there is a new guy in and I actually can hear the heat coming through the vent but it is not working properly yet. My manager got me a space heater several weeks ago in order for me to keep warm until the heat got installed. I have that cranked up on the highest level today and it is not helping at all. I also have a jacket and long johns on and I am freezing! But it all is worth it because in the end I will have a nice toasty office.
I read Jaxon's journal before signing onto Bravejournal and it sounds like he is not doing well at all. In fact last night, they told the parents to not leave the hospital incase something would happen. The new liver is starting to work but the problem now lies in his lungs. Last week there was a significant amount of blood in his lungs. Today they are reporting after xrays that his lungs are in worse shape than the doctors initially thought. Please continue to keep Jaxon in prayer. He has been in PICU for about 2 weeks. His mother reports almost everyday that she can't wait to hear his little voice again. This transplant was supposed to be Jaxon's uphill journey.
Other than that I really do not have much to report on.
Have a great day!
