FOR TODAY March 14, 2011

Outside my window… dark. My laptop was refusing to start this morning so I had to wait until now to post.

I am thinking… about the Lovenox shots that I’ll be giving for the next few months to Daniel because of the blood clot in his leg caused by the central line. I’m also somewhat terrified that he’s not going to pass his swallow study and end up going home on the feeding tube.

I am thankful for… Daniel being on the peds ward now, for my laptop working, for Mom being empathetic, for the charge nurse snuggling Daniel for much of today, and for the student nurses entertaining him in the playroom.

From the kitchen… still eating hospital food.

I am wearing… my We Will Not Be Silent shirt and my penguin pajama bottoms.

I am creating… a baby blanket for Lent (which I really should work on) and this entry.

I am going… home with Daniel hopefully Wednesday but definitely by the end of this week.

I am reading… A Decadent Way to Die by G.A. McKevett

I am hoping… Daniel passes his swallow study tomorrow.

I am hearing… Daniel’s roommate screaming (justifiably — the poor kid had corrective surgery that involved bones today)

Around the house… haven’t been home in 2 weeks

One of my favorite things… my shower at the Ronald McDonald House today.

A few plans for the rest of the week: hopefully going home with Daniel

Here is picture for thought I am sharing… Daniel and I in the playroom.
