Today was yet another exercise in the futility of waiting. Another day of Kaspar and Stella feeling mom's absence. With Kaspar it has been words, and a bit of a break down at school this morning. He hugged me, bawling so hard he made me cry. Stella is doing her best to say "ma-ma" almost as well as she can say "oh-oh".
Menwhile Beta has spent another day of hoping/waiting, and has furthered her abilities to get up and down off the bed by herself (all hail those early childhood sit-ups !). Also she is getting her fill of visitors, and catching up movies, something a new mom with two jobs never could enjoy otherwise. Best so far I think - "Juno"
Let's hope that Sunday will be the final "no feed" day, and Dr. Hall will get a chance to get in there and operate.
This morning members of Beta's tight support group convened at our place to discuss methods of helping my wife through the coming challenge of operating hands free. Namely Sylvija, Liga, Crystal, Christina, Kaiva, Allison, and Tania.
These people are indespensible.
I want to say thanks to my family and friends, my understanding band and Beta's friends, clients and working partners for showing sympathy and support, and keeping her in their thoughts and prayers.
It been some long days. I must now sleep.
-Steve
