day 15 part 2

January 19, 2013 5 Comments

Just another day in room 219.
Amanda has been up all day – maybe one short nap. Her CO2 level keeps bouncing everywhere and keeps everyone guessing. It was sky-high this morning at 89 and this afternoon it sunk to 68.
We are starting to go a little stir-crazy.
The only relief today was the visitors we got. Thank you, neighbors Jake and Kristen, for stopping by. And thanks, Jill, for seeing us as well. You all were a wonderful break from the monotony of the hospital.
I wish I had more news.
Maybe tomorrow.
Gotta hope for tomorrow.

    Unreal! I have been following and praying that things improve for everyone! It’s boring, exhausting and scary all at the same time. So very sorry for all of this. Elaine

    The sun’ll come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, they’ ll be sun. Just thinking about tomorrow clears away the cobwebs and the sorrows till there’s none……

      Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow, you’re only a day away.
      I really don’t want to do this anymore. I miss my bed, I miss my husband, I miss home, I miss my job, I miss normal, I miss sleep – don’t know how much long I can keep this up. I think I’m going to implode.
