Subject: Hi Michelle, glad to hear from you-and it's okay to lurk and come out now and again. Come on inside...I'm gonna go long.

I feel for your struggles with the boys. Teen age years can be so difficult. I think God knew what She was doing when She planned it this way. It makes it easier for us to let them leave when the time comes.

To become a parent or not.....Michelle, you can worry about absolutely everything when you are pregnant but keep in mind that millions of babies are born every year and the pregnancies go fine. There is nothing like the experience of being pregnant and delivering that baby that you have bonded with for the previous nine months. BUT.....and this is a huge but....if you sincerely feel in your heart that you do not want to do it-then don't. You have to do what is right for you and your husband. Either decision will be right for you. While you are trying to make up your mind, is there someone i.e. family doctor or someone that you can talk about your fears and hesitations? Perhaps you are fearful because of what has happened to friends or family members when they were pregnant? Most times-what has happened to them will not happen to you. It sounds like you are putting some serious soul searching into this decision. Just know that whatever you decide will be the absolute best thing for you and your family. My thoughts will be with you.

You have NO idea how much I needed to see a msg...today was hell. #1 ran away from school. Decided that he was unhappy. That Friday's incident on the bus was the mistake that would screw anything up, and that he was going to leave. Packed a backpack, took his meds, left us a note and the house key, and walked out the door at school. Walked to the highway (six lane, divided, thank you very much) and started walking south. Hitchhiked...cops 30 miles away picked him up, and called Chuck. School didn't even know he was gone. So...emergency meeting tomorrow at noon. I have to cancel a class, Chuck has to take day off...we're terrified that he's going to try again tonight.

As for the other...have consulted. Perinatologist father put me in touch with colleague of his. Auto-immune that causes vaso-spasm under stress, labile hypertension - secondary to autoimmune (see stress above), darn old for a primigravida, tiny, Yeah...it's a mess...

Okay...gotta scoot. Going to put on jammies and have a stiff drink. Scotch, if Viive's listening!
