Another Day
July 25th, 2008 | 
Author: One more down and god knows how many left. Although the end of each day is a good thing because it is only bringing us closer to the “prize” .
Its been a positive day, i say positive as in we received no more bad news . She is holding up well and no longer struggling with temperatures and all the nasty dirty gunk in her tube. All signs that the pneumonia is clearing up .
We spoke with Dr K and he seems happy if regretful for us , its not the most common of conditions and this type of reaction is even less so. I know they are doing the best for her though and trust him 100% . He will see us again next week and will reschedule for then, it depends on when he can get the theater space - we are thinking Friday although he did seem to imply it would be before that - just don’t want to be disappointed if its not.
I got to do her care today which helps alot, just playing mum i guess. Got to give her a (sponge) bath and brush and style her pretty hair plus change a few nappies . All the stuff you do day in and day out that takes a magical quality in situations like these.
Feeling pretty upbeat tonight, im sure the next few weeks are going to be a roller coaster of emotions but for tonight im just thinking of how wonderful it will feel when she is home.
Tomorrow im not going to spend much time at the hospital and feel guilty for it , DH is going to go in early and spend the morning with her. Eilidh and i will again take some mummy and daughter time, just hang around the house and maybe go for a nice long walk. I will go through with my parents when they go and visit (my dad has been on holiday so none of them have seen her yet) , although Eilidh and Courtney cannot go in im sure the lovely play area will keep them more than happy.
As hard as it sounds both Craig and i will return home early and have dinner with Eilidh, i know it will be heartbreaking just being the three of us BUT i think a bit of normal will do all of us some good. It means apart from maybe 2 hours im not going to be away from Eilidh all day .

It sounds like you’re starting to find a rythem, and I’m gld of that. Even if it’s a rythem no mother wants! You are so strong, Laura, and really sound good. That bit about cherishing things like changing a dirty diaper really got to me. It’ll be a long road, but so worth it!
