I can't even believe that we have come this far so quickly! Even though we are stuck in the hospital, we have stayed busy so time seems to be moving by quickly. 

Every 3 or 4 days I rearrange the furniture in the room (couch and chair). It's amazing how big of a difference this makes! I also bring specific items to the forefront ( i.e pictures from friends, cards from loved ones) which brightens the room in a special way. We have a count down calendar, made by a friend, which tracks the time we've been here and let him know when he should start feeling better.

I have been practicing my newly found nursing skills by stopping and starting his feeds, changing his dressing and administering his meds. This is all done under a watchful eye of his nurse(s). The more I do it, the more I feel confident about it. Hopefully, this will help make our transition home easier.
