The Family Cold

It looks like we all have a cold.  At this point, Hope doesn't appear to have it.  Sadie has lovingly shared her cold with me and Shawn.  I've been on Advil Cold and Sinus and large doses of Vitamin C and feel not too badly and manage to keep my nose from running like a tap.  Sadie also appears to be improving but is not 100% healthy yet.  Shawn is the strong one, he feels it coming and knows he's in trouble but is fighting it off.  Please pray that these germs do not linger in our family.

Shawn spent the day at the hospital with Hope today, with a mask on.  He felt that she was looking ok although she was very tired.  She slept for 4 hours while he was there and was in his arms for most of the day.  They gave Hope a steroid to try and strengthen her stomach.  She continues on the heart assistance medication and is not able to be weaned off.

I spent the day packing with a friend and made some progress, although the house still appears to be full of stuff!  How we end up with so many things, I will never understand.  If it wasn't snowing, I would consider a garage sale!  I'm hoping to feel well enough tomorrow to go and spend some time with Hope, with a mask on.
