Well, Day 3 was yesterday and yesterday was Thanksgiving. What an experience! My parents deserve an award for cooking an entire dinner, bringing it from an hour away, and hauling it from the car to the third floor of the hospital. I feel so blessed! The hospital makes a special meal for the staff but it was the same ol', same ol' for the patients. Not that I'm complaining. The hospital food here is actually pretty good.
A nurse asked me last night if I was remembering to take deep breaths every hour or so. They had never asked that so I didn't know what she was talking about. Apparently when you're on bed rest like this you're at a higher risk for developing pnuemonia from fluid collecting in your lungs. Crazy, huh?
Hope everyone else had a blessed day with their families!

I'm so glad that you're family was able to come and bring the holiday to you! We learned about the breathing thing when Lane broke his back. They even have a special breathing tool to measue how much you can take in to see if you're at the right levels. It's now a favorite toy of kids. Does the hospital allow any visitors? Or is it just family? And which hospital are you at? Good luck today! We're praying for you!
Thinking about you and praying for you, girlie! So glad your family was able to come up for Thanksgiving!
