Heartache

This is a pic from Saturday.  I went up to the hospital to see babe.  It is hard to just watch her in the bed and not pick her up and love her and hold her.  It took everything I had to not get in the crib with her and spoon.  I can only imagine what the nurses would say or do if there was a big lady curled around one of their patients in the crib.  She is hard to resist though.  

The big tube that wasn't there in the previous post is an ET tube.  She is on a ventilator and that is why we can't hold her now.  She is so small and tender.  I just love her so much.  Max would be jealous if he wasn't so indifferent!  

Keep Mia in your prayers.  With any luck we will not be waiting for much longer.  

Mama Cat

I just love this picture and had the good fortune of the rebirth of my camera and it was still on my card!  As many know, Mia loves the bink but didn't always have the strength to keep it in her mouth.  We had several animals with beaks that we would use to keep the bink in her mouth but this kitty was perfect.  This was also pre haircut.

NO!  Not mine!  So long time no bloggy.  Sorry about that folks (all three of you that read this!)  So much has happened....not really.  I went to my last single sister's wedding in Colorado in September.  Within 30 minutes of being there something I like to call "The great purse flood of '08" occurred.  An unopened, defective bottle of water opened in my purse and in 30 seconds did about $500 of damage.  It was more but luckily my purse managed to dry to pretty much the original condition.  My camera and cell phone weren't so lucky.  Long story short no pictures of the wedding.  No pictures of anything since.  I was never the best at taking pictures of events anyway so now its even easier to not document anything.  Luckily I was blessed with sisters who want to take pictures of everything, all the time so I'm covered.  

So I'm still here in Washington.  Its rainy here.  I moved into a studio apt/motel which I now lovingly refer to as the "no tell" if ya know what I mean.... I am one step closer to my dream of living in a single wide.  No offense to you trailer folk.  I would really like to live in a trailer unless it was in the midwest during hurricane season.

Still working graves in the ER.  Its a special person that works graves in the ER.  We are a unique people.  I have liked it here and have considered extending my contract except I'd have to continue living in a motel.  

Max is still cute as a button.  I have a picture to prove it.  He is such a boy.  He was outside Mimi's for less than 10 minutes and managed to find paint from a paintball and apparently thought it looked tasty.
