Too late
She's too far along. I wish we had known sooner. The outcome might have been the same, but with more informed thought.
We reminded her of the adoption option. She does not seem to emotionaly connect the baby with how it got there. She's seen the ultrasound pictures, picked out names. She wants the kid. And she knows how hard it is to raise one. The idea scares her - which is good - but she wants to go for it anyway.
I'm doing better. She's in until Monday at least. This is the first day I've missed visiting hours (I was head cashier at a craft fair - helping a friend and making a few bucks) but she had Auntie Jo (a dear family friend who has claimed the honerary "Auntie" title) over instead. Probably better that she get love from a wider circle anyway. There are lots of good people who love her. She knows that in her head, but that's not enough.
Many thanks to all of you for your support, prayers, and thoughts. I'll get through this, but I'm terrified that she might end it all for herself.
