February 15, 2006Here's the email Suz sent out to our friends on Sunday night after returning home from the hospital....again I am quoting her as I am on typing restrictions. Please excuse the caps.
PETE HAD A MUCH BETTER DAY TODAY. HE GOT A GOOD SOLID
NIGHTS SLEEP. HE IS OFF THE I.V. AND THEY CHANGED HIS
BANDAGE TODAY AND I GAVE HIM A SPONGE BATH. HE FELT
LIKE A NEW PERSON. THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TODAY WAS
OUR PASTOR CAME AND SAW US TODAY. PETE AND I FELT
MUCH BETTER SEEING HIM AND HE HAS A WONDERFUL CALMING
EFFECT ON US BOTH.
PETE'S PARENTS ARE ON THEIR WAY BACK FROM EGYPT TODAY.
PETE'S BROTHER MIKE GOT A CALL THAT WAS A VERY BAD
CONNECTION, BUT THEY SHOULD BE IN VERY LATE TONIGHT.
THEIR FLIGHT GOT DIVERTED TO WASHINGTON D.C.- SO THEY
MAY NOT GET HOME UNTIL TOMARROW. THEY DO NOT KNOW
ABOUT PETE.
LUCKILY MY BOSS R IS A GREAT PERSON AND IS A DOG
LOVER, SO SHE IS BEING VERY FLEXIBLE WITH ME THIS
WEEK. IZZY HAS BEEN WITH MY SISTER AND THE BOYS
SINCE SATURDAY. THE BOYS LOVE IZZY AND T SAID
THAT IZZY HAS HAD MORE WALKS THAN SHE PROBABLY WANTED.
THE KIDS WANT A DOG AND ARE TRYING TO SHOW THEIR
MOM AND DAD THAT THEY CAN HANDLE THE RESPONSIBILITY.
IZZY SLEPT WITH J LAST NIGHT. J LOVES IZZY TO
DEATH. T TELLS ME THAT IZZY IS DOING FINE. I
MISS MY BABY. IT WAS VERY QUIET LAST NIGHT WITHOUT
IZZY UP AGAINST ME IN BED AND HER AND PETE SNORING.
IT TORE MY HEART OUT WHEN I LEFT HER AT T'S, I
COULD HEAR HER CRYING AND WHINING. I KNOW THAT SOME OF
YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THAT IZZY IS JUST LIKE MY KID.
I AM WHIPPED, BUT I AM HANDLING ALL OF THIS STUFF
PRETTY GOOD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS.
PETE SHOULD GET TO COME HOME BY WEDNESDAY. HIS ELBOW
IS BACK TO NORMAL, BUT HE HAS A SECOND INFECTION IN
HIS INTESTINES, THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE HIS BODY'S
IMMUNE SYSTEM IS SHOT AND WAS OVER WORKED BY THE ELBOW
INFECTION. I AM GOING TO GO TO BED NOW.
