Day 2

February 4th last year was a great day... Josh and I spent it on a tropical island on a mini-jeep tour. We climbed a light house, saw Mayan ruins, went to a alligator farm(?), and snorkeled in beautiful blue waters... That was a great day in Cozumel. This year I spent February 4th in a tiny hospital room with a sick little boy. Not such a great day in Colorado. Spencer is still in the hospital. I knew by 7:45am that we would not be going home today. The doctor was quick to say Spencer would be spending at least one more night in the hospital... Most likely two more nights :( After spending a long day mostly alone here is what I have learned... -Even though there's "cable" on the TV, there still nothing good on. -Watching TV all day is REALLY boring. -If the nurse offers you a cushion for the rocking chair, TAKE it! -Parents with a sick kid under three(?) get food to eat if you call an order it. -The thermostat to turn the heat up some is on the wall by the door. -The ice and water machine is just across the hall. -There is also a fridge by the water, that is stocked with food for the parents -The O2 cord on my baby will barely reach the softer chair on the other side of the crib. -Don't know how parents do this when it is more long term and not just a few days. -How to get out (and back into) the pediatric wing of the hospital. -Google is a great spell checker ;) -This hospital has the BEST nurses ever!!! -I have the Best friends and family who amaze me every day!!! Thank you everyone for your love, concern, and prayers! Spencer is doing a little bit better today, and will soon be home with rest of our family! We love you all!
