Its 11am. Ted had to leave. Duty calls at home...kids, cows, chickens, turkeys, bills, work...etc. Its so hard to walk him out to the car not knowing when I'm going to see him and the kids again. I'm glad Kellys softball is over with. Joshua is still in baseball and Ryan's football practices have started. I can't interrupt the kids activities just because I'm in the hospital with baby brother. I'm greatful for the rides they have been getting to and from games and practices. Those cell phones are great investments for the kids, especially in our situation. But needless to say, it was very hard walking Ted down to the car and saying goodbye. Seems like every time we are here it turns out to be a long long hospital stay. I enjoy walking over to the main hospital and going to the cafeteria there. I found a yummy deli in an attached professional building. (best hidden secret down here) I'm eating the most amazing Reuben sandwich right now....mmmmm!
MATTHEW had a fantastic night sleeping. He only had one apnea episode where his heart rate and breathing decreased together. That was at 1:21am. Other then that he had his normal apnea stuff....nothing out of the ordinary. Its been a quiet morning around here, and I'm waiting for the specialist doctors to come from surgery to see Matthew. All we've had this morning has been nurses, techs and respiratory therapy. We are on the 4th floor and its full...so is the 3rd floor. (2nd floor is ICU) They are scrambling to get patients sent home so they can have room for more patients. I offered them Matthews room and said we could just come back another day....HA HA....jokes on me. Well in the mean time, I'm going to finish up this delicious hot dripping Reuben sandwich and top it off with a piece of strawberry rhubarb pie.
I'll post more when I talk to the specialists later.
Love, Erica
p.s. thank you to those of you who have responded to this blog and have posted comments. Hearing from all of you is such a HUGE inspiration to me. I miss everyone so much when I am down here. I still go back to the emails from Matthews first hospital visit back in April and read and tear up to them. GOD is so good!
