Cruisin'

Grace is having a nice weekend. Deb's friend Monica came to sit with Grace for a few hours while Deb and I went to a matinee. Not that Grace really needs someone with her at all times, it is just nice to know that she has someone to cuddle with if we are not there. Frankly Deb and I (Deb in particular) are tired of being at the hospital. We are ready to have Grace home. It's a confusing situation. We know she is well cared for, but we feel guilty if we are not there for her as much as possible, but we are so sick of sitting in a hospital room. We feel pulled in two different directions all the time that we are not there. Thankfully we should only have about a week before we can come home. We get ventilator training on Tuesday, then we have to do all the care for 8 hours to make sure we can handle it. Next week we hope to try some bottle feeds too. Patience remains a virtue.
