Last night April was hurting really bad so we had to go back to the doctor at the hospital. Reagan went with us because we couldn't get a hold of anyone that we could drop him off on the way. As we were sitting there waiting for our turn and before our friends came to get Reagan we had a great conversation with him. We were talking and he said that Daddy is cool. So I asked him if Mommy is cool. Unfortunately for April, he said that she is not. I was starting to worry, but he quickly responded with, "Mommy isn't cool, she's beautiful." Everyone nearby appreciated his response.
Later we finally got into the doctor. Since this hospital is Texas A&M's teaching hospital a student came in to ask April a bunch of questions and take her vitals (nurse work, according to the med student in scrubs and cowboy boots, only deep in the heart of Texas). We were talking to him and then April earned -1 point when she told him that she had Hepatitis B. I quickly corrected her and told him that she meant to say that she had group b strep. The med student pointed out that she didn't look like someone who would do those things or be in those kinds of places. We all got a good laugh out of it.
April is doing well. Despite her being on all kinds of medication ($100 worth of our portion) she is doing well. It is going to take her a while to get back to herself which makes it a mixed blessing that Benson has remained in NICU.
Benson will come home tomorrow. We are so excited and Reagan will finally get to see him and get his little present that Benson got him.
Poor April, she can't help it if her brain is mixed up from all the drugs she is taken. I still think she is cool & beautiful, just not as sharp as she might be.
