Ellie was sleepy again today. Our car has the red "check engine" light on, so a big thanks to our neighbor, Chris for a ride to the hospital. AND for putting out our trash can on trash day. Just could not leave Ellie in the room alone to race home and switch with Thom. Especially after the time she kept calling for me when I was out of the room for only a few minutes. That would be a LONG 40 minutes for her. Ellie's sodium level has continued to be up and down all day, but her diabetes insipidus (dropping her water) seems to be slowing down now. The floor is once again full, so we have a roommate. Apparently their daughter was injured severly in a skiing accident, so they are all going through the shock and drama of such a sudden, unexepected event occuring in their lives. She has lots of visitors but no room in her small section to accomodate them. I am working to get us separate rooms for everyone's comfort. Just overheard that there are no rooms available tonight on the floor. I totally feel petty in the grand scheme of things, but really for crying out loud!
Your commitment to be there for Ellie and to have her/you be comfortable in her room is inspiring.
