Libby and I both camped out in the room last night. It was more or less what we expected, which means we probably slept some, but we also jolted awake about 50 times during the night. The after effects of the anesthesia have worn off, so Julia is not feeling well today. Her head hurts and her stomach is unsettled, but she ate a few bites of breakfast and she is sleeping again. We are hoping to move up to her room later this morning, and get out of ICU. It sounds like there were other cases that were very serious last night, so the nurses were busy.
All of this happens in the middle of normal life. It is amazing how things always happen in clumps. Yesterday was Jim's birthday and my little sister Martha's birthday. Today is our granddaughter's birthday ( Mary Beth's Claire), and it would have been my paternal grandmother's 108th birthday. Libby is going to run over to the birthday party, and I will stay here with Julia. Then I go home to take care of the girls and Libby will hold the fort here next week.
