Unhappy My babies are leaving me....

My babies are leaving me... I don't know what to do...

I have been very ill over the past 10 days... it got to the point where I was being found unconscious in the morning by a concerned friend.

I have family here in NC, but none that I am very close to... Most of my family is in NJ, so my sister and mother came down here to NC and are returning to NJ with my children while I get my health in order...

I WILL MISS MY CHILDREN SO MUCH AND I DON'T WANT THEM TO GO!!!!!!!!

...however, I know that this is whats best for them while the doctors try to figure out what it is that causes me to go unconscious and hard to wake...

It's not seizures... I had an episode at the end of the EEG and the docs were trying to wake me and couldn't... they taped the entire thing... my brain was fine... I was just unconscious...

My potassium and iron are extremely low...

It is for this reason that I am making plans to return to New Jersey... I've only been in NC for 6 months, but with my health being what it is, I need a larger support system than what I have here...

I just don't know what to do... my babies have NEVER been away from me... not for any long period of time... and never that far away...

My heart is hurting... I know that they are in good hands and that this is only temporary, but I just can't stand the thought of them being that far away from me... without me... I need to do what I can to get to New Jersey by August 1... September 1 at the VERY latest... I can't even see myself being without them for that long... they are soooo little...

Makarios made a statement to me that said I'd rather have some time without them to get my health in order than for them to have a lifetime without me because I got too sick to recover...

Help me, guys... They will be leaving within about 2 hours... I'm hurting...

I'm so sorry committed. I know that it is the hardest thing, but like pp said, you need to take care of yourself so you can take care of your precious little ones.

I will keep you in my prayers. I care.

I can't imagine how your heart is breaking for them.

I am sending them a magic telescope so they can see how big your live for them is. (Not that they need my telescope. I'm sure your love is big enough for them to see all that distance away.)

Reaching out to you.
I feel your pain.
Your children need to see you in a better state of body and mind. Please take care of yourself, so that your children can come home to a healthy mommy.
Take their love as your strength.

When we were adopting our daughter, we knew nothing about her. We did not know who she was or where she was in China. I often imagined a little Chinese baby and put a bubble around it, then imagined that bubble my love and protection, then sent it off allowing only love and safety to penetrate that bubble.
She came to us extremely loved by her nanny at the orphanage, and extremely healthy. It's amazing what the mind can do to effect others, even when we are not around them.
Get healthy. Let that be the only thing on your mind while your heart takes care of their "bubbles"
Hugs.

So sorry, committed. Get well for them. You know that they're being taken care of, that's the important thing.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I am sure it does not help right now but you did an amazing thing for your children by allowing yourself to be temporarily sad without them to ensure that they were getting proper care and to give yourself a chance to focus on getting better fast. Hang in there. If its any consolation, my kids don't seem to notice I am gone when they are being spoiled by their grandma! You will be in my thoughts.
