Well, as much as I didn’t want to sleep here last night, it actually wasn’t all that bad. They recently added on to the hospital, and the cardiology department is in a whole new section. The patient rooms are private now, with their own bathrooms. There’s a flat screen tv with internet access, a little work station and a couch/twin bed. When I saw the room, it relieved my anxiety quite a bit. Not just for last night, but for our future stay. In September we will probably be here 10 days, and just knowing I won’t have to share a room with 4 crying babies, trying to get comfortable on a rickety folding chair – it makes those 10 days seem much less daunting. I was like “I can handle this!”

I still didn’t get much sleep since our little friend woke up every 2 hours to eat, but I was glad he had an appetite. And when he woke up at 4am and wanted to play? Well I wasn’t thrilled at the time, but it was good to see his happy self.
We were hoping to have an early discharge this morning, but it’s 1pm and we are still here. We waited quite some time to get an ultrasound done so he would be cleared for take off. Now that he’s done with that (finally!) we are just waiting for those papers that say we can go home! I’m hoping by 3, but hubs just bet me $5 bucks it won’t be until after 5. We will see!
