Thank God you had the instinct or divine push to crawl into bed with Lulu -- just what she (and you) needed. Especially as sleep will be critical if you now have to deal with new family needs and expectations. So maybe the key is to somehow respond to the child as a CHILD, not as a stack of inconvenient-as-heck behaviors. (Much easier from the armchair than on the field!) God knows I need that reminder today. -- Rachel<br /> Behaviors at home with an “escape plan” are one thing … on the road with behaviors in the next bed is quite another !!

Super Sister called me this morning with the news. Prayers and condolences to ALL of you, and extra prayers for LuLu to help her through the loss we all feel. Julie, please give LuLu a dose of hugs she’ll be able to handle from her extended family, and know that I’m thinking about ALL of you this day.

You're in the midst of absolute chaos and stress!!! You're not in FL on vacation. You're dealing with a horrible situation and I'm sure lots of emotions. You and Super Dad are facing what could be an even more emotional "end" to this trip. Why would you be thinking rationally?<br /> <br /> Hugs my friend. And don't forget to take care of yourself, and give Super Dad a hug from us too. Why didn’t you think of it sooner? You’re in the midst of absolute chaos and stress!!! You’re not in FL on vacation.
