I hate snow. Yes. I know. I have said it before. But I REALLY hate snow. I woke up this morning to a winter wasteland. I was not amused. But as I drove down the empty streets to work I found myself feeling peaceful, calm. It truly was beautiful...from the warmth of my car. I needed those few moments of solitude. I sat in the car listening to James Blunt and gazing at the drooping tree branches. Knowing that the remainder of this week will be an ass kickin' good time. Literally. Amonte went back to the surgeon yesterday. He is not healing well and a large abscess has formed. He will be going to surgery on Friday. The day before his 16th birthday. More wound packing. More IV's. No back to school. An ouchy birthday. I feel so bad for him right now and completely helpless. I wish it was my ass and not his. I wish we had answers. I wish he had his life back. I wish I could fill the loneliness he feels right now. I wish.....

(((HUGS))) As moms we are supposed to feel the way you do and it makes us caring, loving and thoughtful it doesn't mean that the job is always fun. You so badly want to take the pain away for him but you can't which leaves the helpless feeling you feel and that SUCKS. If you need anything while he is in the hospital let me know! I'll do what I can to help.
ReplyDeleteThat really blows. I hope Amonte gets gets everything cleared up this time. That really stinks that it's his birthday. I wish I could offer you more than just words and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteAva is such a sweetheart, love the photo.
Oh the poor thing. I'll be thinking of him!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you had a moment of peace while driving to work. I know you will be busier than you probably want to be once Amonte goes back for surgery. Poor guy (and mom, too) I hope everything works out this time around.
ReplyDeleteAwww...poor Amonte ( and you too)! That really stinks that he has to have more surgery!
ReplyDeletepoor kid :(
ReplyDeleteThat just bites!!! The poor kid. I hope this takes care of it for him. Talk to you soon.
ReplyDeleteOh no! So sorry, Zoe. It seems you keep getting whacked with the rotten luck stick.
ReplyDeleteAs for Amonte, I suspect it is worse than a kick in the ass.
I will put him on my dreamtime healing list.
Oh, I'm so sorry. That really sucks. Poor guy. Hope this is the end of it!
ReplyDeleteoh that stinks! i hope that he heals up fast and things can get back to normal sometime in the NEAR future. i'm thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteOh darn it! I'm just scrambling in my brain wondering if there is any good that can come from this incident. The only thing I can think of is that Amonte and all your kids will see how easy it is to pick up weird diseases (I'm thinking STDs) when proper decorum isn't followed. "You think you don't need to wear a condom? Think back to that time Amonte had MRSA. See? Totally sucked and took a long time to heal. Some diseases don't heal that easily."
ReplyDeleteI'm sending Amonte (and you!)quick healing vibes.
Oh that stinks, right before his birthday??? :-( Sending healing thoughts his way!!
ReplyDeletepoor guy. good thoughts for him coming your way.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about Amonte and I will keep him in my prayers - you too! Kellan
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about Amonte! What a crummy way to spend his birthday :(
ReplyDeleteI am sending hugs to both of you! Hope this surgery is a success!

Oh, my dear Zoe...big hugs to you! I feel so out of the loop being without internet service until today. I have missed out on so much! I hope Amote gets to feeling better soon. Geez, and you said he smelled before...I'll bet that abcess smells WONDERFUL.
