ethansmom Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 I have been very absent around here lately...there is just so much going on!!I had a conference to go to at the beginning of the month, then I spent a week at my mom's house because my babysitter quit and I had to work...and I just got home from my very first trip with both kids. The airplane ride was so smooth it was almost too good to be true...no POTS flare-ups or anything!! I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding last weekend and I was a nervous wreck about standing so long during the ceremony but it went pretty well. I had already been on my feet all day running around, getting ready and chasing the kids. Well...the room was so hot I had sweat running down my face by the time they said "I Do" but thankfully I made it without any major problems. I am just happy that things went smoothly and glad to be home. I've spent the majority of the week recovering from the trip, and I'm exhausted, but I just wanted to share a small victory.I think when we share positive stories it gives us all hope and gratitude. I become very thankful when I make it through "normal" events...one could consider it a gift that POTS has given all of us, is the ability to be grateful for the little things that most people take for granted!!

melly4 Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Jessica, I'm glad you had a good time. As a mother of 4, I think you deserve a purple heart medal just for surviving a plane trip with 2 kids, let alone having POTS, too!!Melly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancingLight Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Jess,It's always good to hear from you...and it was great to hear your good news!That is a HUGE accomplishment in the world of POTS! How is Alex doing these days?? What does Ethan think of baby brother? And how are you holding up otherwise?? Hugs, Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylortotmom Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Congratulations on a successful weekend. I am sorry about your babysitter quitting. We went through seventeen one year. I'm not kidding. Good luck.Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneEyre9 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 That's wonderful that you made it through the wedding, plane trip, etc! What an encouragement! I think what you said is great...we really do give thanks for the little things. When i can put a dishwasher full of dishes away, or even sit up at a "real" restaurant, it makes me so happy...truly makes me grateful for the simple things.Kristen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
