This has been one heckuva week for all 3 of us. Apparently the stress of feeling like we’re constantly fighting — to get Eloise to eat, to get Eloise to nap, to get Eloise’s pain under control — has been taking a toll on us. Add on the fact that her seizures returned for 24 hours and for a minute there we were convinced we were gonna go back to the hospital and 😢. Yeah. It’s not been our best moments.
But there’s still hope. There’s always hope.
I wrote yesterday on how Brian and I are figuring out this teamwork thing. And, despite the horrors of war coming out of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, I have been continually blown away at the bravery and humanity and kindness I’ve seen blossom all over the world.
If you’re wondering how we are here — the distance between Estonia and Ukraine is around the equivalent of the distance from NYC to Miami. So we are very far away.
But our hearts aren’t far away. Next to Georgians, Ukrainians have been probably the kindest, most generous humans we have ever had the privilege to know.
We are doing what little we can from here, and, for now, watching in awe as Europe does what they can to take in as many Ukrainians fleeing for their lives as possible.
Now. On for this week’s very differently formatted update. It’s meant for your cellphone so if you’re on your computer, maybe try switching to your phone.
Hugs.
