Yet potentially so far away. Yesterday started out great. I had my appetite back and was feeling somewhat human again. My surgeon came by around 9 am and said that if I continued to have a good day (she wants me to be fever free for 24 hours before leaving) then she will let me go home Wednesday. While the last thing I wanted was another night in the hospital, at least there was an end in sight! My mom even sent me this cute picture before coming up to the hospital to spend the day with me…
I think he looks a little distraught because he misses me. Distraught face or not, I was glad to see his picture.
I continued to feel better all day and then, around 4:00, my fever spiked and I was quickly reminded that I am still very sick and not out of the woods yet. My 102 temp broke about an hour later just in time to see this sweet face…
His visits always make me feel better. He also had a good time playing with GJ while he was here…
As I write this (on my iPhone in case you’re wondering) I am hoping for a fever free night and a good report from the surgeon tomorrow. After more fever today, I’m afraid my departure might be delayed another day.
I want my baby. I want my bed. I want my shower. I want to go home.
I wish I could switch places with you to make the agony end. Hopefully Maxwell’s big brown eyes will help pull you through another day.
Here’s hoping that today is the day that you will be coming home because you can get excellent nursing care here – I’ve been teaching Maxwell all I know so that he will be prepared to take good care of you!!!!! That little boy misses his momma!
I’m sorry, Steph! Hope today’s the day!
I know that it’s better at home, but I’m with the Doctor. Let’s get all the infection so that you feel really good. It appears Maxwell is in good hands even though he wants his mother.
Get well soon,
