• Stretch……

  What a beautiful, glorious morning!  The sun is brightly shining and even though it is colder than I would like, in exchange, you get to hear the crisp, clean crunch of the snow when you walk upon it.  The downside of the day……my daughter, Heather, is in the hospital in the Intensive Care Unit due to a asthmatic condition mixed with some kind of infection in her lungs.  She is doing a lot better than when she was transferred to the ICU but it is a scary thing when you have any kind of difficulties breathing.  Hopefully, the doctor will get some kind of handle on the infection since it seems to be very resistant to the drugs that she has been given so far.  I just hope that I get to see her doctor since then I will be able to find out more facts than the ones my daughter can tell me.  Normally, that would be enough but she is getting a bit muddled in her thinking since she is sort of sleep deprived due to having to have so many breathing treatments so close together.  At one time, she was having them back to back until she could breathe since her airways would not open enough to get adequate air supply.  Finally, one lung opened enough but that is when the doctor put her in ICU.  Since she works in the hospital, she is now terribly tired of being there and just wants to be able to come home.  So….today I am going to be very busy so I am doubly thankful of the sunshine since it gives my energy levels a boost.
