Pookies Troubles: 11

We need to buy a cell phone
Posted Oct-24-07 20:46:08 PDT
I go to the lobby and see my husband and son playing. "We need to buy a cell phone," I told him. We have to gather our son and go to the mall. I explained to him why and he just drove.
As we get there; we are worn out. We know she has to talk to her BIO mom. I am so angry I can spit nails. We have called everyone and explained how to call internationally. But, no one has made the effort. I am beside myself, we just need a phone on a short-term basis.
I have a million questions in my mind:
.
Could you allow your child to die alone? How is it possible that at least ten days have gone by with out contacting the other parent?
.
I am so beside myself that I ask my husband to let me sit alone before purchasing a phone. I can barely breathe with the anger I feel. There is a phone in her room: why why why does this parent wait for us to contact her own child?

So Flipping Tired!

I wrestle with the questions of my daugther's life. Her BIO mom is there when it is easy. The Bio Mom is there for fun. I however, am here for the long haul.
.
My husband on the other hand is lost. He is deferring her care to me because of my military training. He knows that my education puts me in a better place to make decisions for his child. He understands my intentions better than I do. And yet, I hate this position of power. I just at times want to hand over the reigns.
.
I ask who put me here? And I know this child that did not originate in my body is still--my own. She needs me because I am willing to stand up and say enough. I sit alone, so flipping tired trying to figure out the best course.

Sitting there alone

I wait for a voice to tell me which steps to take. My daughter is wanting her BIO mom. I am just sitting there alone.
.
She has been in a state of slumber. Her body is not her own. I sit alone in our rented car and ponder the situation.
.
Maybe BIO mom has no money. Perhaps BIO mom is confused from my directions. Yet, I have other thoughts. (she is looking for a easy path) All I know is my promise to my daugther.
She will talk to her, MOM.
.
I figure what do I have to lose? I am alone in my thoughts. Though I have my husband, he is lost in guilt. Our son is only five. (I saw her move from his beautiful voice.) What am I supposed to do?
I bow my head and listen:

I call the HEIFFER

Okay, so we go to buy a phone. I make sure we have a credit card. Why does the Bio Mom not call?
.
We listen to the terms of the phone contract. We do not know if we will be here a week or months. And we chose a plan and phone and charge it. Luckily, my husband has saved his salary for almost two years.
.
We leave and I figure out how to activate the phone. We walk around the Portuguese Mall browsing. We call all that we know. Give them updates as I am sure she will be moved from ICU soon to a room without out tubes and breathing machines. Saenz is crying and wants food so we take him to the food court.
.
Our first phone call and it is her and she will not speak to me. Bio Mom is on strike and I hand the phone to my husband as I purchase a Happy Meal version for my son.
