Thank you Adam and Chelsea for coming over with dinner and dessert and stuff to bring to the hospital! And thanks, Adam, for feeding Laelia her broccoli even though it smelled bad. It was great to be so distracted!

Dad and Christina showed up with (and this is a rough estimate) about 300,000 toys and stuffed animals. I guess after Grandpa passed away, Grandma gave a lot of his stuff to Dad, and Dad had to make room for it by cleaning out my old room. So he came over with several bags of treasures from my childhood. They’ve been good and distracting. At one point with everybody laughing and talking, I forgot that my stomach was in knots until I tried to eat something else.

Laelia got her new splints this morning and went to bed with them tonight. She’s looking spiffy. I think she thinks it’s her birthday or something. Lots of family and friends and toys and late bedtimes. She even got some pizza, mac and cheese and crackers for dinner. I figure it balances out since she doesn’t get any food tomorrow.

Tomorrow I’m going to cut her fingernails and bathe her again. We’ll take turns eating breakfast out-of-sight upstairs. Then we’ll load her in a car around 10:45 AM and head over. I want to remember to take before pictures. I probably should pack a bag tonight, but I’m so tired and out of it. Still waiting for my sister’s flight to arrive. Hmmm… I may not make it. God, protect my baby girl. I just feel so sick to my stomach. Maybe I’ll just sleep. ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
