That one picture of Elijah, where yes, you can see the pain he is in, just about did me under. Elijan is so so lucky to have you as his mom.<br /><br />Emily rocks! She is so totally like you Gayle!<br /><br />Homer rocks! Elijah is lucky to have him for a step father!<br /><br />Gayle, call me and let me know what night you want pizza ordered to your house.

I'm so very glad to hear Elijah is improving. Emily clearly takes after you in her ability & willingness to step up and take responsibility for things when necessary, well done her!<br />Honestly? the house can go hang, bit of mess never hurt anyone. The garden can be messy, doesn't matter. If Em & the others can keep on top of the animal feeding/care, thats enough. You ensure you look after yourself as well as everyone else - take the time to sleep enough, and relax occasionally, rather than go all-out and end up getting all run-down yourself.<br />Hang in there, we're all thinking of youHollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885193099862463655.post-70723177052727136612011-08-03T20:09:22.440-08:002011-08-03T20:09:22.440-08:00Oh, Gayle, I'm so sorry to read about the inju...Oh, Gayle, I'm so sorry to read about the injury and the terrible stress your whole family must be under.

My little brother had an accident that left him with brain injuries on three sites of his brain. He lost one leg below the knee, but managed to recover (for the most part) from the brain injuries. All my best wishes and hopes to you for Elijah's full recovery.

I scrolled to the bottom and read the last paragraph only. <br /><br />I know you know how lucky he is to have survived. I can hardly believe I typed that. You are such a powerful strong Mama and no doubt, your encouragement and strength has pulled him through the rough times. <br /><br />You must be so relived to have him home. I so wish I were near to help you with your household and other kids, Thank GOD you have such great kids and an amazing husband to chip in and get things done. <br /><br />Love and prayers as always for Elijah, and an extra big hug for you my friend.
