Does it worry you to be alone?

Cathy's Saturday was blessed with visitors. Kaitlyn came down and spent the day with Cathy. Later in the afternoon, Donna and Floyd came down from Oxnard and spent time with her. Unfortunately, Jessica was feeling a little under the weather so she was unable to make her normal Saturday visit.

The bleeding in Cathy's lungs stopped sometime yesterday. This is a big relief. The doctors are holding all blood draws through the weekend (except for testing blood sugars) to help Cathy maintain the proper blood counts without another transfusion.

Cathy slept a little better last night. The visitors during the day helped her to relax a bit. Add that to the reduced anxieties over mucous blockages and she was able to get a little deep sleep.

A new attending physician took over rotation in the medicine unit yesterday. She has been in to see Cathy three times since Saturday morning. Cathy appears to have bonded quickly with her. It helps that she can read lips very well.

Cathy always liked her "alone" time but with all the recent scares the last few months, I am sure she worries about being alone.

You are always in my heart and thoughts. I wish I could be by your side each day to comfort you.
