Good & Hard

 

Sunday was Chris’ birthday. His family had a dinner for him and Sierra went. The rest of us went to Val’s for family Come Follow Me. We went to sacrament meeting (without masks on!) and the day was pretty good. 

Marshall threw up all night Saturday night and I was nauseous and headachey and wanted to but didn’t; we both made it through and the day looked a bit brighter. Idk if we had a bug or the same thing or not .

And hard. Everything is good and hard right now. We are so grateful and delighted for the progress Sierra is making and the literal miracles we are seeing day to day. Still wound care is tough, worrying about recovery is tough, going through recovery is tough, depression and discouragement are real and necessary parts of the recovery process. The future is uncertain (as it is for everyone always but it feels even more so in our crazy upside down world) and no one likes uncertainty. 

After everyone was tucked in bed and all the phone calls were made and the dishes done Dani and Greg and I watched some “the Chosen” and we love it. 

Monday OT, where the receptionist was one of my old YW leaders who I have not seen in 30 years. How crazy is that?

Also a fundraiser at 7 Brothers for Sierra. And a call with our missionary.

Wound care. Kid care. Self care (showering counts). Family care. Husband care. Worrying about the world. Another good, hard day in the books.
