Overdue

This morning we woke to more snow. The world sparkled as the sun came up. Everyone slept in a bit which was nice because Cooper ended up sleeping with me in the middle of the night and he’s a pretty restless sleeper. 

Mike called me in the morning with his CT results from last night (huge thanks to the doc who squeezed him in early). The good news is, the abscesses (fluid/infection pockets) are shrinking. The bad news is, he will not be able to come home for a few days yet. I found myself choking back tears of disappointment again this morning because I was really hoping to be able to have a baby tonight. While my situation here at home is much more comfortable than Mike’s in the hospital, I still feel sad to be sleeping alone and shouldering the household without my side kick. It’s been a long week!

My mom was able to watch the littles while Camilla and I drove to Red Deer to visit Mike. He was still hanging out in his curtained day surgery room. We brought him a booster juice and some treats. He also got a visit from a couple good friends while we were there. He’s looking better and I’m glad he’s on the mend. Shortly after they left we got news that he was getting a room for the next couple nights. He was so excited to shower and clean up. Once he was settled back into bed, another friend dropped in with some flying magazines and a Dr. Pepper. A little later while we were out enjoying one of the gathering areas, two other fine brethren and friends found us and sat to visit for a while. He was glad to see so many friendly faces today. It’s been a hard week. We are beyond blessed to be so cared for!
