Long and Short

That describes our night. Long on darkness, short on sleep. Since they were able to get in an IV, our nurse started a saline drip at 1:15 this morning. She entered all the settings on the machine outside our door, and let me tell you, beep, beep beep, beep, is NOT a calming sleep-inducing sound. So we were very awake, and so was little man. So I took the opportunity to feed him one last time, WELL before our 3 am cut off. Then we were awakened again at 3:50 for a bp check and she opens the door, and says, "Oh, do you want to skip this one?" Uh, YEAH! Then little man woke at 4:50 and wanted to eat. Uh, so sorry! But he was awake, and it took a while to get him back asleep. Then anesthesia came in and woke him up to evaluate him, and while she was here our nurse came in and said that they got a call from the holding room that they were going to be late because another emergency came up. Only an hour so far, and thankfully, Justin was able to go back to sleep. We're in our room still, bleary-eyed, but hopeful!

Praying for you...I will be up at TCh tomorrow afternoon and will stop in to hug you. Be strong. Focus on God and trust in Him. Listen and ask questions. Love Randy and find joy with him!

DUH! To the nurse who came in and said do you want to skip this one? HELLO?! Remember that you are being held right now. In the tough times you are not walking on your own feet you are being carried. Head up sweet friend - I am praying without ceasing today!
