JOURNEY TO US: Eli's Journey
http://ejbamommy.blogspot.com/p/elis-story.html
Books, Toys, and Goodies. This may not be the best organized story. It may not flow well. But our journey hasn't flowed perfectly. It’s been a bumpy road, and continues to be. I will keep this page updated and try over time to smooth out some of the writing. But for now this gives our bumpy journey in some sort of order. January 2010 was spent at doctor’s offices and labs. Eli couldn't seem to gain weight. He kept choking and gagging and throwing up. The NG tube was in and out. Noth...Then came March 201...

BLYSSFUL HEALTH: June 2011
http://blyssfulhealth.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Here are a few pictures of some dishes that I made last week. I have been on a cacao fix lately so I have been experimenting with some new recipes. So I will leave you with some photo's of some summer eats that I made the week before. Raw Chocolate Crackers made with hemp and flax seeds. Lovely on their own, but even better with fresh strawberries! Garden salad with some fresh chives and lettuce from our backyard. This made for one great green salad. That is all for now. I hope you enjoy! We started off ...

JOURNEY TO US: What happened??
http://ejbamommy.blogspot.com/2013/05/what-happened.html
Books, Toys, and Goodies. Tuesday, May 7, 2013. This will be disorganized. things won't be spelled right. punctuation will be wrong. sentences will be wrong. i simply have to type the words. feeling may show so strongly at points and others may sound so numb. this is the best i can do now. We were supposed to have more time. we weren't on hospice. this shouldn't be our story. They sent Eli home Friday April 26th around 6pm. The attending begged his primary doc to take over at home care. We got ho...Aroun...

JOURNEY TO US: Goals
http://ejbamommy.blogspot.com/2014/08/goals.html
Books, Toys, and Goodies. Tuesday, August 26, 2014. Goals Most of us have them. Sometimes we meet them, sometimes we don't. Sometimes we forget we even set goals days later. Finally I said enough. This cycle had to stop. I was simply setting myself up for failure over and over again. I joined a monthly mileage group, I started posting every single mile on a document for my online running group to see. I started telling people what my goals were. This month I won't reach my utmost goal. My fall Sunday has...

JOURNEY TO US: Eli's Final Journey
http://ejbamommy.blogspot.com/2014/04/eli-final-journey.html
Books, Toys, and Goodies. Friday, April 25, 2014. I have gone round and round in my mind if I'm going to share this video publicly or not. Some of my closest medical mommas have seen it but that's all. I have held onto it for almost 1 yr, as this video was made a week or two after Eli's funeral. I have decided now, on this day, 1 yr after my son was wheeled into his final surgery, to share. This is my tiny man's final journey. This was our family's journey. This was our life. Love you guys 3. Subscribe t...

JOURNEY TO US: Silence
http://ejbamommy.blogspot.com/2014/08/silence.html
Books, Toys, and Goodies. Monday, August 11, 2014. We are here again. The kids start school tomorrow. I'm torn. I have the mommy excitement of some quiet time, some time to clean house without having them come along 2 steps behind, the pride of them starting another year in school, the accomplishment. But I also have the flip side. Tomorrow begins another cycle of me here, home alone, wondering what I'm supposed to do. What my purpose is. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Books, Toys, and Goodies!

JOURNEY TO US: Flickers of Light
http://ejbamommy.blogspot.com/2015/03/flickers-of-light.html
Books, Toys, and Goodies. Friday, March 27, 2015. I haven't blogged in months. For quite a bit of that time I was in a pretty deep funk. The holidays were hard, really hard. The longer it's been since losing Eli the harder it seems to be. I really sank into a pretty dark hole, and the world had moved on and didn't really seem to notice. I tried my hardest to engulf myself in life and did a pretty good job of faking it when I needed to be out and interacting in public. April 28th is fast approaching. ...

JOURNEY TO US: Inspiration
http://ejbamommy.blogspot.com/2014/08/inspiration.html
Books, Toys, and Goodies. Wednesday, August 13, 2014. It's here. Today's the day. They are all 4 gone to school. I did pretty decent today. I have received many messages this week telling me how amazing I am, how much I inspire them, how I make them a better parent, how strong I am. I did NOT have my life together. It wasn't smooth sailing. I was in no condition to be looked up too, I wasn't a example of the "proper way to navigate grief". I was failing. I don't have it all together. If our story, if our...

Road Map to Holland. Leave the light on. October 8, 2009. Time is pouring out like water from a pitcher, passing through my hands so shiny and quick. There are little boys pulling open drawers in the kitchen, asking for toast and milk and apples, and I want to be with them. I’m going to leave up the archives for anyone who happens to pass by and wonder about this time in our lives. There’s so much here that is good: because of the comments, because of the community. I’m leaving the light on. October 8, 2...
