Patience

Since we have welcomed Jackson in to our lives we have also endured another thing that is sometimes hard to grasp...Patience. We "patiently" waited for Jackson to get bigger so he could come home, then we "patiently" waited for him to get off of his ventilator, then oxygen, then to get rid of his trach. Now we are "patiently" waiting on his new wheelchair. It has been 6 months since we started the ordering process..just about as long as he spent in the NICU. Is it really "patiently" waiting... if you have no choice?

I have thought a lot about this lately. How patient are we really when it comes down to actually waiting. Ok, I admit I am the most impatient person on the planet, but it has not always been that way. I was a laid back, easy going, nothing-could-go-wrong kind of girl. But then you have kids, and really when it comes to their best interest, it sometimes takes some "impatience" to get things done.

Long story short... after a quick phone call, his chair is now on RUSH Delivery!

Sorry just a short vent...
