Discharge day

Overwhelming is the only word I can descibe today. First of all they made me stay another day. Then they had to switch all my IV meds over to pills and I am having trouble keeping them down. The Lodge is very nice, like an old victorian Hotel, and i'm sure once I feel better I will enjoy it. Sorry, I havent been in tough in a couple days, nausea has ruled myworld. Like Steve said, take it one day at a time, and I am. so sorry this is short. Tomorrrow will be better!

    I must have esp. I am writing at 5:25 and you posted at 5:20. I just took a little nap with Alli after I took Alexa, Alayna, Alli, Alexa's friend Meghan and Logan school clothes shopping. Girls are a handful shopping. I have been thinking of you all afternoon and I was hoping that you have started feeling better as I had talked to you earlier this morning and you were preparing for the move. If you are not able to come home this weekend mom do not force yourself. I think Mike and I are staying in Cleveland over night and we can still come visit you. I know you want to get home but you will get there I just don't want you forcing anything too soon. We love you and can't wait to see you again. You looked good on Sunday and you are moving in the right direction. Talk to you soon!
    Love
    Jess

    Hi Bella!
    I was gettting a little anxious because you hadn't posted. Marcie called yesterday and said she couldn't get a hold of you, as well. I told her not to worry, but she was. She's all set for our day tomorrow....breakfast, nails and shopping :) Yesterday she wanted to do lunch, but tonight it was breakfast. LOL! It is one day at a time, Cindy. Tomorrow IS a new day, just as you said. The nausea will pass, but in the meantime I'm sure it's miserable. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. You're doing GREAT and holding your course. Just as your son Kyle said the other day, take it slow and find your stride. You're heading for home, kiddo! Yes I Can!

    Glad to hear from you. We worry. Your journey reminds me of labor. It is "hell" but the outcome will be worth it. Focus, breathe, and try to sleep. We are with you in thought and prayer. We have all the faith in the world that you can do this.
    Libby, glad to see your post. Hope you are feeling better. Just knowing how you helped your sister must be the greatest feeling in the world.
    Love,
    Mark and Jan

    Hi Aunt Cindy! I'm sure you've seen the 500 Miles video I made. But I still wanted to post it for anyone else that would like to see it. For anyone who doesn't know, the 500 Miles dance is a Roth Tradition started by Uncle Kyle at Jessie's wedding. This past weekend Jillian and Brittan got married and the tradition continued. However, this time it was dedicated to Aunt Cindy. Just click on the link....some may not understand, but we sure do...enjoy!

    Hi Cindy,

    So happy that you got to move to Hope Lodge, Kyle said it was very nice and that you can do some recouperating there away from the hospital atmosphere. Wasn't Heidi's vidio great! It was so good to see the brothers, then the new bride and groom and then all of your family out there dancing. It felt like a wonderful celebration in your honor. I've always enjoyed when they did that dance, but Saturday it just meant so much more just knowing how many miles you have come so far. Try to relax now and spend special time with Kyle. He said that the hospital where Erica will have Liv is right next to where you are so that will be great too! Keep up your wonderful attitude and know that we are thinking of you and praying for you daily! Yes you can!!
    Mary Beth and Mike
