As we wait and watch

The sun comes and goes, night falls while we watch and wait. The smallest bit of action gives us hope or despair, never know what's coming. I hear my wife's lovely "Morning" as she comes into the ICU wishing everyone well with her bright happy Aura. I'm a lucky man to be with such a wonderful person. 

The room where Chris is has a material blind on the full length window that looks towards the nurse's station, this window has an 6' sliding window door, today the curtains pulled shut, makes for privacy for me and Chris.

 Polly is on the other side now getting her cover on and gloves and face screen, soon she'll be in the room with us. Here she is with the skeleton dog she won at dinner the other night at Sherlock Holmes pub across the street from the hospital. Was a fun time as there was poker music trivia, Polly won, so she picked her skeleton dog for a prize 

     Then I won too so I picked $5.00 gift card

Was fun, and now is in Chris's room till a nurse says no! I snuck it in says Polly 

The nurse today is Angel 😇, always think her name is so appropriate, she was his nurse when we first saw him here 2 weeks ago. 

That was on a Friday night, today is Friday, dayshift, always busy, and full of talk and actions here today. Many times the nurse's have more than one patient at a time here, now in a private room it's harder for them to watch other patients and see and deal with Chris, but they do, and do this good. A very good bunch of people here. 

We thank them often, and are so very happy Chris has such good care. A round of Tim Hortons gift cards was well received when we thanked the nurses after a couple days, I'm thinking we going to need another round soon. 

I saw a video today of a man doing visual arts, he had a set of stairs beside a trampoline, as he walked up the stairs he would fall of the side of the stairs, then onto the trampoline, and bounce back to the stairs, walk up 1-2 stairs, and fall again, sometimes going up the stairs, and sometimes going down. This is what life's like, and here in this situation, I see this even more, we can be up feeling good, then down the next minute, then up and down. 

That's life, and in times like this it's just magnified, and continuess. 

Polly and I do take care of ourselves by going out to dinner, and once in awhile take in Polly's desire, the Casino. This is our out night now, just a night away for the hospital last night was good. 

Sometimes I look at Chris, so calm and relaxed like now, and think why am I so upset, he's ok. But until I see him the way I remember him, the way I know he is I'll be on edge, just right now I feel just a little less on edge, for this immediate moment. 

Fridays sure have changed 😉

We have so much support, family and friends all binging us with Love ❤️🤗

What more can we ask for, 🤗🤗❤️❤️
