Day 11 (Yesterday)
It was a decent day all things considered, especially in comparison with the day before.
Gerald was caught early and we stuffed a medication sock in his mouth. So so so grateful to have kept him mostly quiet. It was a scramble as it happened before 9 am and woke Tate from her sleep. I was out of the room. Days of this has streamlined the plan and it worked.
The rest of the day was just getting Tate to anesthesia and her procedures. Tim was here and we had 3+ hours to do laundry, get some food, go for a walk and just chit chat. Physically….almost a date. Emotionally….our hearts and minds were somewhere else.
Tate woke up great! Another prayer answered. Last nights sleep was hard to come by. Tate broke down when preliminary results didn’t give us a solid direction. My stomach is in knots trying to anticipate next steps. It’ll take time for the send outs to come back with more information. That’s a mom’s interpretation. No rounds yet today and Tate is still sleeping to know what the day will bring.
