Life with your child in the hospital

She’s a tough cookie

October 31, Halia goes into OR and the cardiologist will have plastic surgeon in as well.  They might take plastic sheet off, close sternum and change temporary pacemaker wires.  They’ve never dealt with this virus before.  She’s now on a NG tube and feeding better.  She was kicking her feet and smiling which was nice.  You could see she was in pain when she sneezed.  God, I hope she doesn’t sneeze.  It’s makes me heartbroken.  Her rash is better.  We stay on top of the changing to help.  I love changing her.  Anytime with her is a blessed moment.  On a work note, we finally hire my seasonal assistant.  His name is Chris and ironically, he is from Bulgaria.  Nice guy, but with no real experience on the court or with a tennis program. My team clinics suffer as a result.  However, Chris is a nice and hard-working man and is always helping around the facility.  I am very happy with Chris.  Also, I wish the job wasn’t so maintenance driven, but the club has no vision and likely the President won’t tolerate extra and necessary payroll.  His minion and my supervisor are careful not to rock the boat and so the insanity will continue for unforeseeable future.
