day 15

January 19, 2013 1 Comment

Last night I slept.
And slept.
And slept.
I think I went to bed at 10pm. Although I woke a few times, I was in bed until 7am.
Have been working on paperwork that piles up when a person is gone from home. On laundry load number 3, getting some banking ready and a small grocery list. I need milk for my coffee and we’re almost out of shampoo! Again – it’s the little things 🙂
Ted and Amanda had as good a night as you can expect. Just got word of her morning CO2 and it took a huge jump up again. If it is a true reading – then Amanda is a mystery as to how she can be sitting up, chatting away, and acting as lucid as she is.
I am getting restless to finish up all these little errands and get over to the hospital. The hospital has become home – because home is where your family is – and Ted and I have not been in our house together for 2 weeks now – and being home by myself like I am this morning although peaceful, it is very lonely. I miss Ted and the only place I get to see him right now is at the hospital.
Prayers for hurting families at the 2 funerals at church today. Prayers for the nasty flu outbreak to take leave and allow families to get back to health. Prayers for God’s will for Amanda and for rest and patience for her parents.

Hey – it’s me! just Laurel. I am just a 50-something year old mom who lives in southeastern Michigan. Married forever to the love of my life, Ted. We are just like any other family with kids out there: working hard and doing our best to raise great kids and to live as decent, moral people.
