We’ve officially been at the hospital long enough to have chosen out our favorite nurses and technicians. We’ve found every cafe and gift shop. We’ve added a great many words to our vocabulary (neutropenic, anyone?) and we’ve had a ton of quality time together.

I’ve passed a lot of hospital rooms and I’ve seen a lot of people alone in their rooms… All day, every day. Everyone has a story and I ponder at theirs as I stroll by their doors. No one wants to be there, but they each manage it in their own way.

My dad was cleared for surgery tomorrow, which is wonderful news! Thank you for the prayers and well wishes! Keep them coming!

PS- I found these at the grocery store tonight. I’m ridiculously excited about trying them in the morning!
