Thanks to lots of morphine, Lucy's day was mostly lots of sleeping, broken intermittently with pain and/or vomiting. Due to hospital overload, we found out this evening after waiting all day that the MRI will be tomorrow instead. She opened her eyes for more than a blink for the first time tonight, alert and sparsely conversant, and ate a little bit of dinner after a day without food (because waiting to be sedated for the scan).
Richard spends the night in the sleep room tonight to rest up for his 20 mile (!) training run tomorrow, in preparation for his October marathon. He says it's good stress relief...
I'll end with a lovely thought for the end of a Saturday that was mostly survived:
That’s why it’s okay to not be okay sometimes. His peace river is trenched low-down deep, and we dredge there in sorrow.

So sorry to hear of the bad day. I know you will be glad when this precious one is back to her normal self. We are all lifting you up in prayer.
