Day 21

Annie visiting with Miss Tricia--a first-rate CNA and hairstylist.

Yes, Annie's still inpatient. And impatient. She's still walking around in her Kidwalk; still doing well; but still only up to 30 ml. of diluted formula per hour. Discharge criteria is 50 ml. Pediasure at full strength, and no TPN. So we're at least a few days away from going home, barring no speedbumps.

Now, you would think that we would get used to the hospital gig, but it never gets easy. I just keep repeating to myself that we did this last year for 7 weeks with Bill, so it's not that bad.  We did this last year for 7 weeks with Bill, so it's not that bad.

The antibiotic I got at the walk-in clinic on the way home from the hospital should help. I never really recovered from the flu I shared with Annie, and it has now disguised itself as a respiratory infection. The doctor says after three days I should feel better. And we did this last year for 7 weeks with Bill, so it's not that bad.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
His mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.  Lamentations 3:22-23
