Thoughts on Hospital Stay

So, it finally ends. They decided that Lissa's blood did a magic trick and disappeared. No one decided where it went just that she lost a lot. so they gave her more blood and sent her on her way, gave her some nasty bruises.

Heidi has been a little trooper and has been wanting to see mama at every turn. she woke up crying wanting her mama and I had to tell her that mama is still owies in the owie place. and she nodded her head and held out her arm and went owies and decided that was a satisfactory explanation.

So we went and visited Lissa at every opportunity that we could, and the ward that she was in was full of older people that were sedentary and not having loud visitors... in comes Heidi so exited to see her mama that she is singing and dancing and laughing and giggling. She got all the nurses to give her lollies and they all loved her eyes and asked about where she got her blue eyes was cause there is no way I had a daughter that tan. I reply that we are still looking for the father.

It was so heart breaking how much my little angel Heidi missed her mama and how much she wants to be like Lissa. Heidi wanted to be like her to the point where she wanted Band-Aids and would go owie and have me kiss it better. I swear that if Heidi could talk more clearly she would have said something like just give her a magical kiss and then she could come home, cause my kisses seem to make her all better. I cannot imagine how single parents do this, I have so much respect for them, and how widowed parents are able to cope with their loss while still trying to be strong for the children. while it is true this is not a tragedy and no lasting harm came from it has made me think of how hard it would be.
