Day 38, AYAT - From the information in my medical notes, I was tired of the fevers and scared that they wanted to put another drain in. I had had another one the night before and I was very scared of the reason. After waking up in the ICU and coming to terms of all that happened I developed a huge fear of regression. I was afraid that another infection would grow out of hand and that the doctors wouldn’t catch it. I was still in the hospital but that didn’t stop the fear. Now looking back, I know I was in the best place possible to figure it out. I think it was normal to fear another infection especially since it was so hard on my body. I understand a lot more now and do not fear it like I did. I know what to look for and I also believe that when it’s my time, there will be nothing that stops it. I’m good with that. I have had an additional year since everything has happened and I am so much more at peace. If you ever want to know how that happened, let me know. I am happy to share with you.
Today: We had some good news this morning and then came home to another baby chick. Coco, my other silky hen, hatched a beautiful black chick. We removed the chick until she has hatched them all and then we may move her inside with her babies. We want her to be safe and the chick to be safe. After seeing what the ducks did to their babies, we are not comfortable letting the babies stay out in the coop. Coco has two to three more eggs that she is sitting on so for today, tonight, and tomorrow, I am on baby watch!!!! I just love the babies. I have had one of the incubated babies come down with an eye infection, either it was scratched or it could be a respiratory issue. I have been treating it for a couple of days and it is looking better. The baby can open its eye again.
Also had some of the best potato salad from Sammy D’s!!! They make it with a Dijon’ mustard and nothing is as good. They even put sprouts on top and I am not really a fan of sprouts but this works. YUMMMY!!! If you go see them, tell them that I sent you. The best BBQ I have ever had!!!!
Good things are happening! Back to working on my special secret project for Dr Wonderful. :)
