Right now Laura's having an X-ray done; if it looks good they'll start her on real food, or at least foodlike substances. Plans for today: 1. Have Laura sit in a chair, wearing her plastic, custom-made $1800 clamshell brace that makes her look like Wonder Woman or a baseball umpire, depending on where your fantasies lie. 2. Move her out of NICU to a regular hospital room. 3. I go home and sleep in my own bed after spending three very pleasant nights at Lily and Paul's, 15 minutes from UM Hospital (10 minutes at 3:30 in the morning when all the red lights are turned to blinkies and there's no traffic).
Thanks for all your comments, emails, calls, text messages and good thoughts floating in the ether. I relay them all to Laura. She's been eyeing her cell phone covetously and may give it a try one of these days.
Send good thoughts our way and keep on the sunny side.
Marty

We are so happy to read how well things are going. I hope when Laura is eating you bring her something delicious from Angelo's or Zingerman's. Both are very yummy, much better than anything the hospital sends. Send our love, Linda and Jim.
ReplyDeleteDear Marty,
ReplyDeleteThanks for all of the updates. Please send Laura my love. Let me know when she is accepting visitors, and if she is up to it, I'd love to come by and just poke my head in to say hi.
Love, Elizabeth
