Richard & I slept on our hide-a-bed last night, since she's not supposed to go up/down stairs anymore. Neither of us slept well, and I woke up with a migraine.
The boys know that she's not feeling well, and tonight, as gently as we could, we explained to David that Midnight isn't going to get better, and eventually we'll have to have her put to sleep. The poor boy. It breaks my heart that we had to tell him, but we felt we needed to prepare him. Please keep us in your prayers, as the next few days will be very difficult as Richard makes the decision whether to put her to sleep or keep her around for a while longer.
David asked me if we had pictures of Midnight. I looked through a bunch of pictures, and found the ones below. Most of these were pre-Nathaniel.

That is so sad.
ReplyDeleteAnd those are such sweet pictures.
Thanks, Nancy. I'm eventually going to do a kids & pets scrapbook with all the pictures I have taken.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the news. I remember when Rich got him. Pretty crazy huh!! We'll be thinking of you.
