We are still in the hospital, and it's 9:45 p.m. The doctor has been in surgery all day doing more procedures like Amy's, and he hasn't shown up to discharge her yet. Here are a few of the positive benefits to staying this long:
1. Amy had room service for all 3 meals again today. Mom and I had dinner compliments of the Ronald McDonald House (they serve lunch and dinner all week, at no charge to the patient families - even those who aren't staying there).
2. Amy got to watch some of her favorite t.v. shows without being interrupted.
3. At 5:30, a member of the Healing Arts team came to Amy's room and entertained us with our own private guitar and singing concert for half an hour! He was very talented, and his songs were quite soothing. He gave concerts and toured in Russia for several years, and founded an American/Russian youth organization. It was a wonderful treat.
4. Amy's bed is comfortable and she can sleep all she wants.
5. When we finally get out of here, the traffic will be minimal.
6. The parking lot doesn't charge if you leave after 8:30 p.m.
7. Our hospital wing is fairly empty and it is quiet tonight. No crying babies tonight.
8. The extra rest is good for healing.
We do look forward to leaving, however, so that we can get a bit of rest before we have to drive to Fresno tomorrow.
