We are all feeling a bit better.

Rebekah is doing a little bit better on her blood counts and it is looking like we are going to get to go home tomorrow, Sunday.  Of course we are still holding our breath is nothing in our lives is for sure except what happened yesterday.  You should note that “for sure” is what did happen yesterday, NOT what we think happened yesterday as that is usually wrong in our mental state.  She had a pretty rough night with coughing, getting upset, etc.  Her fever is still borderline and she is staying on Tylenol.  Even so, we are still “planning” on leaving tomorrow.

Thank you all for bearing with me through yesterday’s frustrations.  What a difference a day (and some friends) can make!  Just about everyone that did not deliver yesterday had a very good excuse and we totally understand.  Unfortunately that didn’t help things to get done, but stuff happens.

Late last night (this morning…) Mark, Steve, Caron and Kris stopped by after a concert.  They brought some food, munchies and some beer and hung out talking in the trailer until 2am.  Mommy missed it sleeping in the room but daddy felt like back in college days just hanging out talking – except we only had one beer and were quiet.  It was nice.

Then today the Juengels brought TWO pies (at their questioning daddy requested apple OR cherry so they brought both) plus a full home cooked meal that we are going to eat this afternoon and that is great.  

Then a client of daddy’s stopped by the trailer with a wonderful fruit and goody basket just because – that is totally awesome.  

Caron is at our house cleaning things up so mommy doesn’t have to come home to frustrations tomorrow – better than great or awesome!  

AND Grandma M came to the hospital and is sitting with Rebekah and mommy is actually here in the trailer sleeping while daddy works (and plays with email and stuff).  

Here I sit in the trailer tucked into and under trees with leaves in very beautiful colors.  The trailer is all opened up with fresh crisp fall air blowing through.  Beautiful mommy is lying on the couch/bed with a blanket over her sleeping peacefully.  Soothing Christian music is playing in the background.   And a scented candle (see goody basket above) burns filling the trailer with sweet delight.  

Yes, things are going a little better and, even if just for a moment, we are able to forget some of the trials.
