FOR TODAY March 7, 2011

Outside my window… sunny after serious rain yesterday.

I am thinking… about a million things like the fact that the hospital cafeteria is overrun with teenagers to Daniel’s extubation (getting his breathing tube out this afternoon).

I am thankful for… Daniel being 180 degrees from where he was after my last Daybook post. Also thankful for the Ronald McDonald House here where I’m going to get a shower this afternoon.

From the kitchen… eating out of the hospital cafeteria and trying not to gain weight.

I am wearing… brown shirt, jeans, black hoodie.

I am creating… this entry and a baby blanket which may go to one of three babies to be born in May or to one of two charities.

I am going… back up to the PICU in a bit.

I am reading… The Alpine Decoy by Mary Daheim.

I am hoping… things keep improving for Daniel.

I am hearing… voices in the cafeteria.

Around the house… I haven’t been home in more than a week.

One of my favorite things… the nurses and RT and I turning Daniel on his tummy last night. Five 20 and 30-somethings fussing over him — I am afraid of the portent it shows for the future.

A few plans for the rest of the week: getting to meet Kym for the first time in person tomorrow, hanging with my little bear

Here is picture for thought I am sharing… It’s an edit from the last entry. I cut out a picture of my hands around Daniel’s hand. I have little china doll hands but mine are big compared to his. You can see some fingers and also the thumb where they have his pulse-ox.
