The earth is still spinning

I've been closely following to blogs of a couple of other CDH families who have very young babies, most are still in the NICU but one has been sent home.  As i've read, I've cried, prayed and laughed along with their moms and I'm so hopeful that each of these little angels will get to live and have mostly normal lives. 

But as I read, I'm also making dinner, taking Dillan to the potty, running around to play dates, changing laundry, taking naps --- all of the things I do every day, all day.  These families are going through hell right now, some literally not knowing if their child will make it through the night and I read about it as I eat my turkey on whole wheat. 

And i'm struck by the foreshadowing.  in a few short months my closest friends and family will be checking this blog, all day every day, to get updates on Maddie and you will feel frustrated when i'm not able to post often enough or with enough detail to help you understand what is going on and what to pray for.  And while you read and hope and pray and do everything you can to support us, you will also be living your lives. 

The earth will continue to spin, even though I think everyone should just stop until Maddie is safely home.  maybe wrapping my mind around this will be a healthy thing.  but right now, it just kinda trips me out.
