Easy.


I've sat in lots and lots of waiting rooms.

I could drive to Primary Children's Hospital with my eyes closed, but hope to never try.

I've watched parents head inside those doors and hear the words "Everything went great"... then leave. Hopefully, never returning. That visit being a "one hit wonder."
That is not exactly our story, and I am okay with the fact that it most likely will never be.
But, today...it was.
I got a taste of easy. Boy. It feels good.

My Deak had tubes replaced today. Nothing serious for most. Last time he got he tubes in, he also underwent a bronchoscopy. That procedure caused his lungs to react and fill up with mucus. A simple twenty minute procedure turned into two hours and an overnight hospital stay. Today, we arrived at the hospital at 7:45 and we were home by noon. In fact, Deak and I decided to screw the dietary guidelines and eat fries on the way home to celebrate.

Easy for most, but a miracle for me.

YEAH! It's amazing when things go well, and you think-wow, if it was like this all the time, I think I could handle my life! At least that's the way I'd always feel.
