Ethan strong!

Ethan had a decent night. He slept.  I slept. My back was killing me but I am doing lots of stretching. The nurses are sneaking me hot packs.

As soon as I woke up, the nurse told Ethan, “mom’s up.” Ethan motioned for me to come hug him. Of course I painfully obliged. Cause who could turn that hug down?

He then wanted me to sit with him on the bed. Which I painfully obliged. Our nurse today is one we have had many times before and is at the top of our preferred nurse list. She brought me a Spanish coffee. She said she only got me a small in case I didn’t like it. I laughed.  “Coffee I don’t like? I am not sure that exists.  I don’t care for coconut coffee but will still drink it.”

It was divine. It is espresso mixed with condensed milk. Glorious. It was like a warm comfortable blanket for my mouth. It was so thoughtful of her. It’s amazing how good you can make someone feel or how much you can brighten someone’s day with a beverage.

I went to the shower late today. I was still first, bright spot!  Woo hoo! Must be no one else is showering around here. Fine by me.

We will see what today holds.

Happy Birthday Papa! I showed Ethan this picture and he gave a thumbs up!
