Being in hospitals can be really hard at times. On one of the many occasions when Patrick was taken in for asthma attacks, there was a young girl of about 6 strapped in a wheelchair, just kind of chilling in the hallway. She was not communicative at all. Four weeks later, when we were in with Garrett who has having surgery, the same child was still there in the ward. It can be sobering, to be sure.
When Neil was in hospital with a serious knee infection about 10 years ago, I took all three kids into see him. That lasted about eight minutes, because they were everywhere in the room and poor Neil was not feeling well enough to be much of a visitor. He was hooked to i.v. antibiotics, and as they entered his bloodstream, they made a terrible stinging sensation. We left after that.
Hope Kev mends soon!
In another lifetime, many light years away, I spent a lot of time in the oncology department at the UofWA medical center in Seattle. Over the five years that I spent there, I saw (and met) a lot of bald little kids. Sobering, no question about it.
Thankfully this week, all the kids have been on their very best behavior.
Carla. Wondering how your Mom is doing?
God is good. Thankful Kev got to hospital in time. Will be easier now that he is home.
