Time Together and to Reflect

Lauren had a field trip yesterday. The whole crew from our floor went to the Penn Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology. Its only a block away, but it got them all out of the hospital for a while.

Sandra and I got to spend the night together last night. Drank wine, went out to dinner, James was at a school dance. Tonight is James' basketball championship game. We are both looking forward to attending that too.

We ran together this morning and afterward made some observations.

First we both feel guilty for running while Lauren struggles to walk. We decided we were going to see what her therapies are going forward. Maybe we will become walkers or swimmers.

The second thing is how much I/we miss Dr. Storm. Here is a person, in whose hands we put our daughter's life and future. That creates a connection, as least for me. He was there for us for a month and now he's gone. Not that I would expect anything else, and I am sure we will see him again, but I have a little feeling of abandonment. I wonder if they tell them about that in medical school or their fellowship.
