. We've never seen her act that badly before, oh my. I'm guessing it is the staying in a new environment, new routine, not sleeping well, etc that is affecting her- I hope. She seemed pleased seeing DS, so I don't think it was him bugging her. She just acted as though she hadn't slept in a few days (MAJOR GROUCHY!!). I hope once everyone is home and settled that she'll resemble her old self again.
I am discharged as of this afternoon, but I can stay overnight with him until he can come home tomorrow (they say they see no reason that he couldn't come home tomorrow, but for the rest of today, he needs to be under the lights.) The ped is supposed to come talk to me soon and ease my mind about all of this.
I hope that they are able to recover some of your pictures. If not, I am glad your sister will be able to come to the rescue.
not sure I'll get through it. I am interested in it though.
I am very excited about it. We are going to be there for Food and Wine Fest, so if any of you have any helpful hints, I'd apprectiate it.
ouch!
