Brothers and Sisters......


So my best friend whom I also consider like a sister flew in at the beginning of the week to help out. It was so good to see her and then I got an even bigger surprise. My Mom decided to fly back to be with us and she brought the whole crew with her, ALL four of my brothers and sisters!!!!!!!! They all wanted to meet Thurston and be with us. They are only able to stay for a day and a half. I cant even believe that they all did this. They are the BEST siblings I could ever ask for and reaffirms over and over again why I wanted to have Thurston, why I wanted Viola to have a sibling to grow up with and to have a whole lifetime of love, support, and understanding. I am so lucky to have the best family ever. My pops is also coming out at some point but is getting over an illness. He calls me all of the time and checks up on me. Family is everything to me and without them I would be completely lost. Sure we fight, disagree sometimes, have different politics, even religions(or lack thereof) but ultimately the one thing we will always always have is each other, and that is what family is all about.............Love you guys!!!!!!

  1. Donna,
    We met briefly in the NICU, when Thurston was still there. My daughter was also a very micro preemie, who had complications and you were always there to give us words of encouragement although your sweet little angel was going through hardships himself.
    I've only now found the time to look for your blog and was floored to read the news about Thurston's condition.
    I wish there was something I could say to you to make you feel better, like you did to make us feel better when Valentina almost died. You may not remember us (my parents are from Brazil and, despite the language barrier, you were kind enough to give them support in our most difficult hours) but we always kept you and your son in our thoughts.
    We will continue to do so. Every day. Hang in there. If you need anything, please please PLEASE email me at sarah.altoe@gmail.com

  2. That's wonderful to hear... support from your family is very up lifting! So glad they did that!

    "Sure we fight, disagree sometimes, have different politics, even religions(or lack thereof) but ultimately the one thing we will always always have is each other, and that is what family is all about" -I couldn't agree more!

    Hoping Thurston takes a turn for the better! Mucho love and prayers! - Irene & Aedan
