... and the beat goes on

  We spent most of the day at St. Mary's with Justus. I left for a bit to cover for Heather at James' soccer game. One of the parents stood in as coach for Justus and did a fairly good job. She rotated the players throughout the game and didn't show any favoritism. In fact, it wasn't until about half way through the fourth quarter that I figured out which kid was hers!
  When I got back to the hospital, I gave Justus the Nikon D50 Heather had loaned so that he could see shots of the game and took Anne to lunch. It was after 2:00 and she'd not eaten since 9:00, so I needed to get her fed before her sugar levels got "whack" and made her grumpy!
  After lunch, Anne went home for a nap while Justus and I watched TV. Then, about 4:00, the nurses came and said that the section Justus was in is being closed. It's, apparently, an over-flow wing that they open when extra beds are needed. Taking advantage of the situation, Justus requested a room with a view!
  After checking a couple of them in the new wing, he was placed in a room approximately half-again as large with an East-facing window that looked out over some trees, grass and bushes! I called Anne with an update as the staff got Justus settled into his new digs. Shortly thereafter Anne arrived joined us for some cable TV time.
  Along about 8:00 we headed home for dinner, leaving Justus to catch up on his sleep and healing. The new staff was on top of things and it had rained outside, giving things that "fresh" smell. A good end to a good day.
  Keep Anne and Justus in your prayers,
Don and Anne
