My girl

Sleeping beauty and her beautiful piggies.

I love Lans. I don't spend a second with her that I don't want to breathe her in. Tonight I got to breathe her in. Today was an "off" day for her, a little fluish and just a little down. She spent too much time apologizing for not being very much fun. What? Did she think I was expecting the circus? I told her if she apologized again I would slap her. I just want to be with her. She's missing her boys, feeling the weight of responsibility she wants so badly to own but is unable to touch.

So I gave her a foot massage, she was a little sleepy. She doesn't get much uninterrupted sleep. Nurses are in usually on the half hour and then the cleaning crew, etc. etc. But she talks to all of them with such kindness and they love her. They made her a big card welcoming her back from ICU and joking that "they hope we can get along better this time." :) How could you NOT just adore her?

She still has the drainage tube coming out her nose -pray her obstruction clears soon. She wants to drink water sooo badly but just gets to suck on ice chips. Lots of new tubes on my girl - a darling little puppet. She has to sit up too for the drainage to work, but it hurts her back to sit up.

Then we watched a movie. She's a rock star. I forgot my good camera, so the bad cell phone pic will have to do.
