Hospital Vacation
The week without blogging was unintentional. I think we're all just tired, waiting for next week to come.
Next week, Monday, is Hannah's surgery to remove her trach tube. Everything and anything else is in suspended animation. Work, meals, outings, downtime: everything is moving past us, ruffling our hair, but we stand still.
Next week, we'll catch our breath.
I call it a hospital vacation, but that's a misnomer: just means I'm taking a week off because that's the most practical way to help everyone out. Janette and I will be on hospital nursing duty (much more intensive than home with our dedicated & experienced nurses). Mostly, we'll be finding ways to keep Hannah entertained, waiting to see if the surgery was successful. Gabriel will get some time at home, hospital, and with extended family. And, if all goes well, both Janette and I will get some writing downtime.

P.S. Thanks for everyone's patience with both our blogging delay and our frazzled server. Leaving comments (or posting) for the last couple of days has been difficult. Hope all is fixed now.
