4 Weeks: From Hillary

Here Danny and I are using my resistance bands that I'm supposed to use for physical therapy to instead become ninjas.


The post-its directly in front of my bed tell me that it's been 4 weeks since I showed up here. The days have all become blurred but the moment-to-moment experience can be incredibly slow.

I have definitely hit a wall the last few days and am looking forward to seeing what's on the other side. Emotionally I hope to cling to God even more because I am so tired of being here.

But I did just receive some amazing news... My doc popped in tonight and since it's been so difficult to keep our little swimmer on the heart rate monitor 24/7 due to my extra fluid, I asked whether it's necessary to keep it on all the time. Without batting an eye, he agreed and said starting tomorrow they'll only monitor Luke for one hour a shift. That's just one hour for every twelve!! Except for having to take my meds twice a night, I might be able to sleep through the night now!

  1. That picture is too cute! I think that you better take some lessons from Danny on how to make a serious Ninja face. He's got it down! Hang in there! We will be praying that this time passes for you quickly. I am so thankful that you are getting to get a little more rest at night.
