I'm back, couldn't sleep. When Lora called tonight it scared me so much. She usually doesn't call that late unless there is bad news that just came up. She knows it's ok to call me though 24 hours a day with any news she gets, so when she called UC and they told her Daniel had been completely off that ventilator for a day she had to call me. That was a big relief. I think I aged another 10 years since Thursday. Susan, I can imagine how shocked you were when you got on and read what has happened the past several days. It's hard even for me to comprehend what we just went through again. You can imagine how each second was torture after the call from my sister early Friday morning warning me what the doctor had just told them. I have thought about your Mom and wondered if she is doing better now. I pray she is. Sandy, hope news is good from your way too. I've been praying for all of us.
I feel so much better too knowing Daniel's things are out of Drake and that he is dismissed from there officially. That's how I feel too, now we start a new chapter, concentrating on him getting well. I'm going to learn anything and everything I can about pneumonia and keep an eye out for any clue that it might be coming back. I know a nursing home is certainly less than an ideal place, but when he gets up here to this one, there'll be a lot of friends and family in and out constantly and watching closely. Being surrounded by loved ones will make him feel so much better.
Maybe I can get some sleep yet tonight. Guess I'll go try again. See you all later. Thanks!!!
