Today I did not want to get out of bed. After staying at the hospital until 3:30am last night with Mike, I managed a few hours of sleep and woke bright and early to get the kids off to seminary and school. I was so grateful my mamma took Cooper for the night so I could get a few solid hours in. She also made the kids pancakes for breakfast so that I wouldn't have to worry about it.
I started a batch of bread shortly after everyone got out the door and noticed a few small contractions. I then got an update from Mike that they would be transporting him to Red Deer for another CT scan to see what is causing all of the pain in his abdomen. I spent the rest of the morning keeping myself busy and hoping babe stays put for the day.
Cooper had a nice, long nap on the couch and I relished in the quiet. Mike called mid afternoon to let me know that his CT scan showed some fluid build up and three pockets of infection inside. He is in a lot of pain, so they have him on some pain management as well as some heavy duty IV antibiotics. They're keeping him in the day surgery area for a few days to monitor him while they decide what's next.
Camilla came home during her spare to eat lunch and study and ended up spending quite a while playing horsey with Cooper. His belly laugh is the best! He's so lucky to have such a great big sister.
In the late afternoon we headed to town for piano lessons. We also met a sweet sister in our ward at the church who had reached out to let us know she prepared dinner for us. She didn't ask, she just did, and it was such a huge blessing as I've been overwhelmed with being pregnant and caring for Mike. She made two kinds of soups and the most delicious pizza buns. The children were very happy to fill their bellies after we got home from lessons. We are so blessed to have such an amazing community!
