Elizabeth & Brendan

I am comfortably tucked into our IKEA chair watching Sunday news. Eli is still away at a doggie sleepover, Brendan is making coffee (none for me though) in the kitchen), and Kevin is picking up Lyndell’s for breakfast.

I was released yesterday and we left the hospital just before 2 and while we were only a few blocks from Ted Kennedy’s funeral, we were going in the opposite direction and hit no traffic. Around 10:30, I received a call from Kevin saying he was going to come visit and help out and he actually arrived at the apartment at the same time.

Not only was yesterday my day of release, it was also the most alert I have been. Thursday and Friday I was awake during the morning but then was in and out in the afternoon, small conversations took a lot out of me. However, we really seemed to have turned a corner.

I am eating what I consider a ton and starting to vary my diet – after being sick those two days I was cautious but have now had chicken fingers, pizza, garlic breadsticks, soup, saltines, blt, grilled cheese, italian ices, applesauce.  I feel a cupcake coming soon.

Aldo Brendan is an excellent nurse if anyone is looking for some help.
