Cosmic Events

Andrew Elliott and Ava Grace

Enid
I am glad Kate didn't name her twins after our side of the family. The names definitely fit the babies. Eamon liked both names as well. Grace and Elliott liked the names as well. We have better photos of Kate and the babies. The babies with tubes and oxygen weren't the best, but we got them anyway. All three are now at home, Kate is still needing a nurse and now someone to take care of the babies. Her OB warned her that if she has more children she will need to be watched very closely. They had a cardiologist look over her and he restricted her activities until she was fully healed from her events. She had to be resuscitated several times and they are still working with her getting her back to her original state, but they think there might be a few issues for a long time. She has to go through therapy cognitive, fine motor skills, PT and OT.

Kate
I have to have help holding my babies and feeding them. I can't walk with them in my hands yet. I lost things and I need to get them back, it will take time, but I am determined to get it all back. I am so frustrated and I get tired easily because of everything that I have been through. Elliott has told me everything he knows and so has dr Greene. This was not something anyone could have predicted, it just happened to me. It was a good thing Elliott got me to the ER right away and dr Greene was waiting for me after Elliott called his mom and she got hold of her and both were waiting for us at the car door. The timing was what saved me and the twins. I get visits a lot and am getting a lot of help. All have been told that I need to do things even though they are hard and I get frustrated I have to get through all the exercises they give me.

I watch as Kate has been trying hard to get back to her original state and it is an uphill battle. We finally told everyone about our baby. Especially after the morning sickness I have been suffering from. Christian was happy to share our pregnancy with the family. I have held Andrew and Ava and I know it hurts Kate not to be a full mother to her babies. We work on it when we can. I come by as much as possible to help her get back to herself. At times she has too many helpers. She is getting better with apps on her iPad. She is very determined to be at full capacity within the year if not sooner.

I work with Kate on the psychological aspects of what has happened to her and her abilities to get through to the other side. We work on the aspect that she thinks her babies will be scarred by everything. I tell her they really won't be scarred at all. They will know they are loved and cared for and eventually they will know everything she went through for them and although she can't be the mother she wants to be for them she is full of love for them and they have love and caring from everyone around them.

Elliott
Kate and I are seeing a therapist together and we need it for everything we have to deal with. She thinks she is useless and I tell her she isn't. Things have changed for us there is no doubt about it. But we still love each other and this is the worse part of our marriage for now. We will get up this hill together and be better for it in the end. We have plenty of time to get through all of this and we will. I have to be very patient with Kate and she needs to trust me and have faith in me and herself that we will get through everything and be stronger. We have had fights, but we make up as well. Therapy was our best bet in getting us through it all.

Grace
I see both Kate and Elliott struggling through everything they are going through and it hurts to see it. We are going over a lot and trying to help, but sometimes it can be overwhelming to everyone, so we have made sure we don't overdo it all the time. Can't have them divorcing each other and not trying to get through a traumatic event in their lives and regret not working through it all. Most is frustration on both their parts and they are not coping with everything because it is new to them both. Both of us parents have spoke to them and we convinced them to be patient and think about the kids and the fact this is just a bump in the road and they need to ride over it together and try to recall how much they love each other. It is easy for me to say that since I have been through my own bumps, hills and mountains and finally got to where I am with Carrick. Enid and Eamon have had their own issues and they are still together who knows why, but they are.

Eamon
I am not really able to get through to Kate on this matter, but I try to tell her to pull herself up by her bootstraps and get through everything without whining about all of what she is going through because whining is wasted energy and lost time. It should be spent on getting through everything she needs to to get to her former self and become a better version of herself.

Mia
I am glad Eamon isn't my father. I think my dad is more apathetic than him and I am glad. I heard him talking to Kate about whining and telling her to stop wasting time on it. He definitely is hard nosed and I can see why he came here alone to talk to Kate. He didn't want anyone to hear him talk to her like that. I decided to act like I didn't hear him say those things to her. She has enough on her plate to add anything else to it. Hanover made no comment about it and we finally go see Kate in the nursery where she is playing with the twins.
