I WANT TO GO HOME!

I'm so sad and I miss my mom! I think it might have been better if she hadn't come at all, because now I miss her even more. I'm starting to feel depressed again and having a hard time making myself get out of bed.

The doctors came in yesterday and said that as soon as Spencer starts eating and drinking he can get discharged to Ronald McDonald House. So yesterday I went and bought these microwavable meals, taco bites, mac & cheese and 8 individual 3 cheese pizzas. He had one bite of the taco bites and that was it. But he did drink some water. I'm bringing the Pizza today and we'll see if he eats that. I have no idea when we will be able to get home or what happens when we do go home.

I talked to Claudia on Sunday and she told George (my cat) that I was coming home tomorrow and then she said "Right mommy you're coming home tomorrow!" I wish I could, I just want to scoop her up in my arms and hold her. This is so hard and I miss everyone!

I JUST WANT TO GO HOME!

Hopefully soon you and Spencer will be at hope with the rest of your family

It's only natural that you would feel the way that you do. Your strength has carried the both of you so far- but it's inevitable that you have weak moments here and there. Take comfort in the fact that there is light at the end of this very long tunnel- just think how great it will be for Spencer to be out of there soon- and remember how far he's come already. You have a HUGE role in his recovery, and although the sacrifices you and your family have made and will continue to make are more than anyone should have to, it's all worth it, right? You're doing great, Kirstin- we're all really proud of you.

*Shannon* replied: Gosh, I don't know what to say, but I have been following your story Kirsten, and I have to say, you are the strongest, most courageous, most loving mother I have ever seen! You have EVERY right and reason to feel everything you do. I don't know how you've done it this far!
Just try to remember, you're nearing that light at the end of the tunnel! Spencer is getting better, you're getting ready to make a huge step with him going to the Ronald McDonald house soon.
Every day is one day closer to the time you can take your son home! Just think how much closer you are now than when this whole thing began.
for you and for Spencer and for your other children too.

My2Beauties replied: Kirsten my heart is breaking for you I am so sorry! please hang in there and know that it won't be long. I am so sorry! Vent all you want hon, we are here for you!

Kirstenmumof3 replied: Thanks everyone! I'm just feeling very sad these days. I know it will only be a matter of time before we get to go home, but it still just seems so far away!

Kaitlin'smom replied: more I hope the time flies by and you will be home soon.

mummy2girls replied: (((HUGS)))) dont worry hun you will be home very soon and holding your kids! All of them!

jem0622 replied: I am so sorry that you cannot all be together during this time. Kids are so resilient though and they will be so happy to hug you soon!

While it was hard for your Mom to come and go, I do think you NEEDED for her to visit. Even to visit was a good thing.

Continued P&PT and eating well vibes for Spencer!
