REFLECTIONS ON TODAY
Tonight, I find myself sitting alone with my thoughts and, if I am being completely honest, worrying about what the future may hold for Pixie.
We are still waiting for answers.
The specialists are still carrying out their assessments.
Nobody has yet told us what the final outcome will be.
But like anyone who cares about Pixie, I cannot help but think about the possibilities, even the ones I desperately do not want to consider.
I keep asking myself the same questions.
What if the news isn't what any of us want to hear?
What if Pixie's recovery takes far longer than expected?
What if her future ends up looking very different from the one we all imagined only a few weeks ago?
My mind keeps drifting towards conversations I never thought we would have to have.
Specialist care.
Long-term support.
Future living arrangements.
How any of it could be funded if it were ever needed.
I even found myself wondering today whether, in the worst circumstances imaginable, Pixie's home might one day become part of those discussions if ongoing care costs ever had to be considered.
I do not want that.
I genuinely hope it never comes to that.
In truth, I am hoping that all of these fears prove to be completely unnecessary.
That the specialists tell us there is a positive path forward.
That Pixie improves.
That this horrible uncertainty eventually fades away.
Because right now, everything feels unreal.
It feels like a dreadful nightmare that I keep expecting to wake up from.
A nightmare where every new conversation brings more questions than answers.
A nightmare where the future suddenly feels uncertain when only days ago it seemed so clear.
Perhaps that is why I am choosing not to think too far ahead tonight.
Until we know more, all I can do is hope.
Hope that the news is better than we fear.
Hope that Pixie continues to improve.
And hope that, when all of this is over, we look back on these days as the darkest part of a journey that ultimately led somewhere brighter.
For now, we wait.
And we hope and we pray 🙏
