Well, they say the bad stuff comes in threes..so maybe this is your three. I certainly hope so and this will clear your way for smooth sailing the rest of the year and beyond. As Rosanna, Rossanna Danna's grandmother, Rosanna Danna Nanna said: "it's always somethin'". Many prayers for you and those around you. Take care.

I'm so sorry LoveItaly. Please remember to take care of yourself too. It is an easy thing to forget when you are trying to sort out other people's issues. Take care.

Sorry to hear this, LoveItaly, and agree with SeeTheWorld - ask the doctor, if he says your grandson can't fly - it will be easier for you to talk to your exSIL.

Hugs and prayers for you, LoveItaly! Sounds like you've got everything under control at home. Your daughter is lucky to have you watching over her son! You'll feel better when you see grandson this afternoon.

My goodness, LoveItaly, so much to deal with all at once. You have so many people here sending you love and prayers. I believe it helps in many ways. Please keep us posted about Michael. Add in a hug and prayers from me.

So Sorry for all these horrible things that have happened. I hope when things have improved and you give some bite to the boy's father who allowed him to have such a dangerous thing.

Scarlett please send me Ilove Italy's email (or anyone who has it.)

LoveItaly - I am sorry to hear about all the things you are going through right now. My prayers are with you and your SIL's family. Glad to hear that your grandson's eye is going to heal. I would certainly think about sending him off to Utah but as others have said, you just have to take one day at a time.

I am so sorry, LoveItaly. Know we are here supporting you.

I hope the doctor says he shouldn't fly. That would help keep your chick close to home so you can take care of him.

I agree that you shouldn't add mom's stress right now.

If your grandson does take the trip, I'll share this experience. Years ago I had a college friend who wore an eyepatch. Looked very debonair! He approached me one day to ask if I would help with the medicine. He needed help squirting the medicine in his eye during the day. His injury was caused by a neigbor in a DUCK BLIND turning and shooting him in the eye rather than the duck! If grandson has someone responsible (even dad) to put the meds in, he should be fine.

LoveItaly I wish I knew why 'when it rains, it pours'.

What can I say other than I will certainly pray for you and your family.

It's purely a matter of intuition and my own favorite superstition (and not actual mathematics), but by some law of balance, it seems to me that the entire rest of your life should go beautifully and wonderfully once you all manage to get through this incredible run of horrible luck. And so that's what I hope for you and your family, along with the wish that the sense of chaos will soon settle down, and everyone will notice how lucky they are to have everyone else.

A lot of prattle, but so sorry everything's come down like this on you, and hope you'll start to get the breaks you all need. Maybe

.. sorry: Maybe the fact that the eye will recover is the first sign of things turning around.
