Update Wednesday (10.29.14) 9:00am I awoke this morning with tears in my eyes, dreams and nightmares flooding my mind, only to be broken by the real cries through the nursery door. Those beautiful cries of sweet Rylan have permanently replaced my alarm clock. I enjoy that sound so much. Shelly and I always start our mornings slow, trying to enjoy a little quiet time together before life takes over. I absolutely love this snuggle time, and I would not trade it for anything. Shelly has been doing improving daily. She is doing awesome. She is becoming stronger every day. She is taking on more and more of the mother duties with Rylan, and I am so thankful for that. I have been pretty honest about my struggles, but the main thing I am fighting daily is stress and fatigue. My body did a great job of delaying some of the effects of what I was feeling, so know I need to work through those. I wake each day wishing I had slept better, not just because of being a parent of a newborn, but also due to the images that share my sleep. My day starts with a dull headache that grows as the day goes on. By evening, my head is pounding. I end up nauseous and miserable. I am a waste of a husband and father when I let this happen. Shelly needs me, and all I want to do is sleep in a dark, quiet room. We are working very hard to find the solution. The key word from the doctor is tension. So, we try and relax. We work together. This is just a small, small obstacle compared to what we have overcame. We are so thankful to be here, this is just side effects, or left-overs, of the stress we carried. We are human. We will overcome with Gods help. Shelly and I continue to be humbled as we are contacted by people who have been inspired by our story. We are so blessed to have the opportunity to share our story. There are so many stories like ours, that do not end happy, and we know that. We pray daily for families close to us that are going through difficult trials. We are not blind to the world around us. We understand that we are blessed to be in the situation we are in, and we tell our story as a testimony of what God can do. Shellys life is a gift from God, to not tell the story would not make sense to me. We are so thankful, we must continue praising Him and giving Him thanks! We will forever give HIM thanks!
