A Sad Day...

Things seem to have the worst timing for me, when I'm due for the good news I instead get the bad.

Mom called be tonight (or i guess last night) to say my auntie's dad passed away from a sudden heart attack late last night/early morning :( . I guess his wife called 911, and they didn't respond, and both ambulances were busy with something (is what my mom explained) so by the time someone got there it was too late :(

I didn't think it would be bothering me this much, but it is. My little cousin's 2nd birthday is on Friday, and the funeral looks to be planned for Thursday (and unfortunately I cant afford to miss classes to go to it, either). And...he spoiled those kids big time. So what kind of birthday party will it be, with one of the main guests not there.....

We're mostly worried about my Auntie, the whole family is. Obviously the death of a father out of nowhere is tragic enough on someone, but she's also 8 months pregnant, due April 10th. So we're terrified of her great upsetness and the stress somehow hurting the little boy on the way... :ph34r:

I should already been in bed, I need to wake up in 6 hours, but i just can't sleep. Not even texting my closest friends even late at night has helped. i REALLY didn't need something like this!!

Please send your thoughts and prayers to my family, especially my Auntie...

Thank you everyone for your support. I love you all... *hugs you all back*

I have the worst headache in the world, and slept about 2 hours (if i'm lucky). And if I cant calm down I know my flareup is going to get worse instead of getting better, so I'm tryin to think of things to help me relax.

I will keep you updated on how things go...

Oooo my Auntie had some contractions earlier today, only 3 minutes apart, but my uncle rushed her to the hospital in Yorkton and they stopped. So they said she's sleeping...and that's the latest update we have.

Maybe it really was stress induced contractions ...

Lisa, I'm so sorry. Hugs and prayers for your family. Even if your auntie delivers early, the odds are very much in her favor for having a strong and healthy baby. It is very hard to lose your dad ~ let her know others are praying for her.

Thank you...

So she got released from the hospital, because they said the baby just shifted, BUT she came to my baba's place tonight to at least say happy birthday to her and she said she's still having contractions! :o

So basically I'm told keep the phone handy, because she said she doesn't expect to stay at home very long! If she does have her baby by tomorrow that could sure make things interesting. 3 birthdays within 4 day span...'his' brother's birthday is on Friday, as i've said before. Imagine the boys when they grow up, parties galore I tell you when your birthdays may be almost identical :lol:

As soon as I do get my new 1st cousin I will post in here!!

I guess it's a way to show us this child will be a blessing...lose one truly amusing man, and have the opportunity to raise another...

      Thank you this really helped. 
    • Samanthaeileen1
      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.
    • GlorietaKaro
      Thanks to both of you for your responses!  Sadly, even after several years of very strict gluten avoidance, I remember the symptoms well enough that I am too frightened to risk a gluten challenge— heartbeat and breathing problems are scary— Scott, thank you for the specific information— I will call around in the new year to see if I can find anyone. In the meantime, I will carry on has I have been— it’s working! Thanks also for the validation— sometimes I just feel crushed by disbelief. Not enough to make me eat gluten though—
