Fighting isn't easy

I am fighting, but being in a battle is not always easy. Being away from my home, my Hackett, and my normalcy, is catching up to me today. Kevin has been by my side since Wednesday and having my teammate makes things easier. Hackett needs his parents, so my teammate needs to be with him so that Hackett can have the normalcy that he is missing too. My mom arrived today and will help fill the gaps at our house to help with that too and I am very thankful. But being alone in my hospital room and knowing they are home, is just so hard. Kevin will return to work and a more normal schedule this week. Knowing all of this made saying goodbye very difficult this evening.

I have had some cramping today. As a result they are monitoring Tobin's heart rate and checking for contractions three times a day, instead of twice. It is most likely just normal pregnant cramping, but I am just hyper in-tune to everything.

So I lay, pray, laugh, cry, sleep, and fight. What a year of challenges this has been.

Jackie...
I was in the hospital for 3 weeks before I had my first son because of blood pressure problems so I sort of know some of what you're going thru. It is so hard to be in the hospital while life is continuing outside. But, I knew it was the best place for me so I managed and you will too. Hang in there. If you want company, please let me know. I would love to come visit anytime you're up for it. Sending tons of prayers, hugs & warm wishes my friend. Lots of Love...Lori

    I am Jackie.
    I am a child of the one true King.
    I am a wife to my high school sweetheart, Kevin. 
    I am a mom to my three sons - Hackett, Koen (my little angel), and Tobin. 
    I am experiencing loss, heartache, and grief.  On May 27, 2013, at 26 weeks and 6 days I went into the hospital with contractions, only to learn that my Koen's sweet little heart had stopped beating.  
    Tobin was born July 8, 2014.
    I am on a journey . . .
