This weekend was an exercise in extremes for me. Levi had a quiet one and went painting one afternoon with Jane and Sally. We went to dinner with a family on Saturday as well,and the kids there got along so well, I didn't leave until 9. Consequently Levi missed swimming again, This time because he was so sound asleep that he didn't wake after I put on the lights and shook him. Then I decided if he was really that tired, I probably should let him sleep. At least he woke up for soccer and had a great practice, right up until he was found lying on the ground behind the goal by the coach. The coach asked if he was OK and he said that he was just really tired. It was a great weekend!
However in the background of all of that, I knew that one little girl that I look after at work was really sick in the Children's ICU. I would love to be able to fully support parents in this situation, but I also don't want to intrude. Of course, it breaks up my sleep with thoughts and memories of when I too stood over my child in multiple ICUs over that year. It is hard to not think about her and worry about the next night for her and the one after and the ones after that. I am sending you healing thoughts and prayers little one. Lots of people love you!
