Uneventful day

I wish I had something interesting to write but as my title states, today was uneventful. C has been running fever ever since his surgeries. It worried me in the beginning, but the doc and nurses said they would be concerned if he wasnt getting them. I continue to be amazed at the staff here in the burn unit ICU. They would do anything to make our stay more comfortable. They are always asking if we need anything or if they can get us something. Its hard for me to say 'um yeah how bout a milkshake or a martini'. (just to clarify I dont like alcohol) I'm always the one getting things for people, or making things happen. (comes with being the oldest I guess)Its hard for me to let go and let others but thats just one of the many things being shown to me throughout our short 10 days here already! Marv and I continue to be humbled everyday by different things that are happening.

Tonite Tate and Kendall came up with family to see C and I again. I just had to squeeze them and hold them tight. I almost couldnt let them go. When I try to hold C, I can only touch his head and a little bit of his arms and feet. The rest is all bandaged up mummy-like. I didnt realize how much I missed the feel of my boys in my arms! I would take them with smelly hair and dirty fingernails anyday. Hopefully if everything goes well tom...I will be goin home tom nite and thurs, and then be back up for C's surgery on fri. It will do my heart some good to go home 2 familiarity.
