Today I'm struggling a bit

I am very angry. My cousin is hurting and scared and the end is hidden in the fog somewhere. Last week we really believed the light at the end of the tunnel was well in sight. She hopped on a plane & headed "home" to bring her precious new son to meet all of us who've been loving him from afar. Now it seems the light at the end of the tunnel has been put on a dimmer switch. While not shut off, it's not nearly as bright as it was last week.

For anyone who doesn't know, Inkling gave birth to her sweet Grasshopper early in January. There was serious birth trauma involved. It has impacted her ability to care for her son & her husband & even herself. It has impacted them financially, emotionally, and physically. It has broken trust in certain medical professionals. It has caused a massive amount of pain physically, emotionally, and spiritually. At times I have feared for her life. That may be an overreaction, but the fear has been there none the less.

Would you please pray that this journey ends well & soon? It is time Inkling gets to be a Mama free & clear. It's time for her to spend that energy worrying about the odd things most Mama's worry about instead of the odd things being forced upon her. But then, that's my opinion & it is flawed.
