Family, friends, hospital staff

Sadies whole family is truly amazing. To name them all would be a whole post in itself. They have put together what we call team sadie girl. They work there asses off to make sure that she wants and needs for nothing. They live and breathe her well being just as much as I do. These wonderful people are the best of the best. If it wasn't for there dedication and support, I don't know how I would deal. They are sadies army and they all take the front line ready to fight. They are at our beckon call from taking care of our horribly misbehaved dogs, to organizing fundraisers, to bringing us food in the hospital, to cleaning our toilets if I asked any one of them to. They do it all. Thank you family for all that you do and all that you are. Without you we are not team Sadie girl. Connie and Malory this includes you. To Carey, we had our falling out but I never stopped loving you or your precious family. Your blood is sadies blood. To my friends, they are also the best of the best. I have learned that situations like this defiantly show you who your true friends are. To Andrea, after 9 years of not seeing you or talking to you, you stepped up and were there to support Sadie and I both on this journey as if no time had passed at all. To brandy, you are the best friend a person could have. You have never turned your back on me and your love for my daughter is phenomenal. You are the one person that knows my entire being yet you chose to stay around. The reason for this I will never know. You must be just as crazy as I am. To sadies nurses, you are amazing. I am so hard on all of you but I could not do what you do on a daily basis. You all are my home away from home, my second family, my punching bags. I could call you if Sadie farts wrong and you would put my mind at ease. I love all of my family, my friends, and sadies nurses so very much. I am in debt to all of you.

  1. Jess I wish I could say I have been there all along but we both know life had other plans for us both, but here we are and ur little princess has brought us back together at least I hope. I wish I could have been there when u met mike and he asked u to marry him or when u foun out when u were pregnant with Sadie girl for those were happy times in your life. But in reality we can not change the past so I am happy to be here now. I feel that being here on this blog and talking through text is an amazing feeling. What I want to do in life is a big dream of mine and well finances and time kinda puts a stop to that dream. I always think if I want it bad enough I have to fight for it. I know it the long run it will provide my family and I with more than enough and I will do something I enjoy doing. So by reading your blog and seeing life in different ways it is startin to push me to fight. So I am thinking that I will start my search and fight for what I dream to do. The best feeling is seeing this babies like Sadie smile and say to their family it will be okay for god holds my hands. They are so bright and really make you sit back and think life works in such mysterious ways that we will never understand but know in our minds that things will work themselves out. Remember you owe nobody anything Jess, we are all here because we want to be not because you owe any of us anything later in life. And maybe one day you will be someones support group and that someone that makes a stranger smile just by a simple gesture. A hello or a visit from them and work on something that they enjoy rather it be computers or painting whatever it may be, it's the smallest things that mean the most. When I wake up every morning and put my scrubs on I smile. Because I know when I start my day I'm helping someone I am making them better each and every day. And never in my life have I been complimented as much as I am at work. My heart is with these families through it all as are sadies nurses. So never feel bad this is what they wake up for everyday.... to make your baby feel better day by day, in hopes to hear her laugh and smile or be there to wipe her tears if she is having a bad day. ask questions ask as many as u want you as a mother have this right and if they are a good nurse and doctor they will answer with no attitude but only a smile and make u feel as comfortable and understand as much as possible through this. You are right this is a long journey for you and your family and I know the jones they are fighters as Sadie is too so this is one good thing you all have. I guess what I am saying is you are an incredible person and we are love you and we are here and never expect anything in return.

  2. Jess I love you all so much. There is never a minute of any day that I am not thinking of Sadie girl aunt brandies precious monkey. I feel the same as you if I could take this cancer into my own body I would in a heart beat. Know that I will be here for you always our friendship is rock solid and has been for 15 years. You are my sister and Sadie is my niece. We prayed for you to get pregnant and now it is just a different prayer. Know that our prayers are strong we got her with the first prayer and will keep her with us with the second prayer. God bless my second family.
