A better day

"I think these difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that one goes around worrying about are of no importance whatsoever."--Isak Dinesen

He must have been on his best behavior because it is Valentine's Day! Still don't have the RSV test results back but the physical therapist girls did hook him up to portable oxygen, put a mask on him and paraded him around the circle that is 7 East. Jack says that it was the Valentines day parade - Jack, the 2 PTs and a nurse. Makes the New Cumberland 4th of July Parade look massive!

Jack was awake for most of the day when I was there today and he assured me that he would be done and ready to go home before the apartment lease is out. Very optimistic today but I am a little skeptical - I guess that is what works for us - a little balance even if it is not a meeting of the minds! It was a least nice to be able to share some of the obstacles that are outside of the hospital room and get a response!

They have reduced his O2 to 2 liters from 5 and his stats are holding there own (not great but keeping the alarm from going off). Kathy Finn came by tonight to take me out for coffee ( Dr S wanted to make sure that I wasn't falling apart so she assigned Kathy to babysit!). Kathy did bring Jack a box of chocolates and brought me a shaving kit - I guess they are worried that I am not shaving my legs since Jack hasn't been out of the hospital for over 2 weeks??!! I did get Jack a meatball sub that he actually ate for dinner - Valentines Day dinners are easier to provide when the hospital cooks set the bar fairly low!

Hope everyone is doing something a little more romantic!! I think that next year - I will have to make the arrangements!
