I like the hospital


Well, at least one of us feels this way.  Lu really does feel cared for and attended to at the hospital.  
She loves being able to order her food off a menu with fewer low-carb restrictions than we impose at home.  She is piled with blankets and a custom pillow case.  Puppie a huge soft doggie is perched on the bed.  (We are grateful to our neighbor Frankie who brought that over.)

She is building good relationships with the nursing staff.  She has a few that seem to pick her each night. 

Lu has had more pain in her back than headaches in the last few days.  It is controlled with motrin and tylenol+codeine.  

Currently sprout's Caillou is keeping Lu company while I type this.  She has been making cakes, cookies and milk-shakes on the cooking apps on our ipad.  She has sudden bouts of pain when we mention doing school work, but that is a sign of intact child cognition.

Her brothers are going to pay her a visit this morning before church.  I give it 3 min before the room feels intolerably small once they arrive.
