Counting my blessings.

March 31, 2010

(If you have firefox, see that font on “blessing #1”? It’s called Waker, but everytime I scroll down, I see “WANKER” and giggle. What exactly does a Wanker font look like??) Well, blessing #1 is Dad is home. He’s been in the hospital for the past week with a blood clot in …

A good ending

November 30, 2009

After that Friday morning, things accelerated quickly. The next morning, he was taken off the vent and had the food tube taken out. He was sitting up on his own talking to us. I had to go back to school but Mom kept me updated. He had developed a few blood clots, one particular in [...]

November 13, 2009

Tuesday Day 5-ICU

November 10, 2009

Tuesday dawned the same as Monday. I got up and couldn’t stand the closed in walls and bad dreams. I was wearing running tights anyway, so I threw on a shirt and went for a run. It was still dark out and I noticed a sidewalk all along N. State st. I took off that [...]

Monday ICU-Day 4

November 9, 2009

I got on the road after going to school to leave out sub plans. I got to the hospital around 10 so I could go in for the 11:00 visit. He had been bathed and in a new gown. All the tubes and wires.. The news wasn’t good. He wasn’t making much improvement and that [...]
