There's no need to say sorry for posting how you are feeling. That is one of the main functions of this forum (the way I see it).
Bobbi, we need to have a place to come to where we can speak (or type) our fears, challenges, disappointments, victories etc. I feel that the IAS and Bombobeach forums are such places. Although we may not have been in the particular situation that you are in right now, we've all been in circumstances (due to these damned adhesions) that make us feel hopeless. Please believe me, you are not alone....
I grew up in a small farming community, and there were times that our parents must have wondered if there would be any Christmas at all. As a kid, sometimes the lack of gifts sucked, but we always knew that we were loved. Perhaps a card for each child, with your wish for them written inside may help? I know that you want to buy them the things they've been wanting, but Bobbi, I think that as long as your kids know that they are loved, they will remember THAT much more than any tangible gift that you could possibly buy for them.
I do continue to pray for you.
Wishing you pain free moments, hours and days. Clare
