Getting Better

We have great news!  Our son Bryce gets to come home today.  Yay!!!

We've also learned a lot this week.  Here are a few of our lessons:
  • ALWAYS take a sweater, sweatshirt or, better yet, a complete snow suit with hat, scarf and gloves because a hospital is freezing all the time.
  • Yes, hospital food really is as bad as everyone says it is.  I don't know how it is possible but they even ruined oatmeal!
  • Everything takes ten times longer to accomplish than you think it should.  And we thought the military was all about "Hurry up and wait."
  • Oh, and yes, sleep is virtually impossible in a hospital for a myriad of reasons. How do they expect anyone to get better if you can't sleep?
I'm sure I could add more but I've got a mountain of laundry to conquer.

Until next time, may your creative bliss be warm and peaceful.
