Made It!

Earlier Shayne told Dr. Maris that the goal was to get her better and to her 4th grade Valetine party with Mrs. Smith. I don't believe she's "better" but I did wheel her in and she did pass out her valentines, but not without tears. She's just feeling horrible. Her head aches so bad. She was there for about 30 minutes which is more than she's been awake since Sunday. I hope it wasn't too hard for her classmates to see how bad she feels; I'm certain they were surprised. She's gone downhill at a rapid tempo.

My wonderful sub had some surprises for me to. Much to my surprise, he shaved his head!! And while I was planning to just quickly ran up to my room to tend to a few things, he had a steady flow of all of the students stop by to say hello (or goodbye?). Not wanting to cry, I quickly shooed them back to their classes- what thoughtful students and staff I'm so blessed to work with.

So now we are off to the airport; I'm hoping to get her some comfort soon. She came home and went straight to bed (again). She's been on dilaudid (ten times stronger than morphine) 24/7 for the past 24 hours. Dr. Maris is out of town, but copied me in on the email he sent to the doctor who will be meeting us in the Emergency Room late this afternoon and then admitting Christi from there. Dr. Maris will be back to see her tomorrow. Now that she's sleeping instead of withering in pain, my travels should be better. Nee Nee will drive me to the airport as I didn't think I could handle our luggage in addition to managing her. It'll also save on the parking. Mom and I were lucky to get a room at the Ronald House tonight - even if only a "hobo room". Gotta scoot! Thanks, all!
