Sunday morning

Another beautiful day out the window. The weather will probably change as soon as it is time to go home. They checked vitals last night. Riley said his nose was plugged at bed time. He had a slight fever. During the night it went away. This morning I asked if his nose was still plugged and he said his throat felt a little sore. My chest tightens. I pray it is nothing. the nurse taking vitals says she will mention it to the doctors.

He lies in bed draped with a prayer shawl gifted to us by one of his teachers. Trevor brought it home from school. Riley likes the soft feel and requests it now. I believe he can feel the loving hands that knit it. Eventually, he will have to pick up the phone and order breakfast, not to forget the apple sauce for his pills.

We wait

  1. Good morning Steph. Hope you can get outside into the sun today. My stomach feels like it's been in a knot since I heard about Riley, so I can only imagine what you are feeling. Love you all.

  2. My nose is stuffy too. Go for a walk up the path, see if you can find the old bunkers. The exercise will help.

  3. Finally figured out how to join this thing. It's about time considering how addicted I've become. My non-computer self had a good chuckle at your discovery of the "spell check" Steph. Anyhow, I love you so much! It was great to hear Riley's voice tonight, even for a few minutes. He had to get off the phone to get a shot, however.(At least I think that's what he said.) Reality.

    I can't wait to see you in a month. I'm desperate to help. Should I fly home to help paint the boys rooms this week?

    Oh, and a huge thanks goes out to your wonderful friends who helped with the garage and the carpets! And everything else!

    Take care of yourself. It's so important. I love you.
