Calm after the storm

We've had a very quiet day today.  W came out of surgery at about 11 and spent a couple of hours in paediatric ICU before coming back to the ward.  His emergency procedure was a success and his small intestine has been untangled from the space it decided to move into!

Today he is very sleepy and grumpy, he is sore but so much better than he was yesterday.  He can move which he wasn't doing at all before and so I have spent a lovely day sitting next to him watching tv and periodically untangling the 6 lines coming out of his neck each time he rolls over.  He must be better because he called Paul poo poo!

Paul was here last night which was really nice and he has gone back to collect Maddie now.  Next emergency is to bring me enough clean clothes for another week :). 

After such a busy and worrying night it is nice that it is the weekend and the hospital is quiet.  This morning I walked to the car to swap dirty for clean clothes and saw these beautiful trees.  Sometimes you just need to stop and see the small good things that are all around us.
