Another routine day. Feeds are 28 ml every 3 hours, O2 varied between 29 and 31 all day. And yes, it was that specific. I looked at Quinn's chart, and each entry was either 29 or 31. I've gotten into the habit of checking the chart when I first get there, and it seems to depend on the nurse how they react to that. The ones who know me don't seem to think twice about it. But ones who haven't seen me before, like today's nurse, fairly snatch it out of my hands. That's happened at least 3 times, but no one comes right out and says "You shouldn't be looking at that." They say things like "I'll give you a summary of today." or "If you have any questions, be sure to ask me." as they are taking it back from me. Maybe I'll actually ask one of these days if it's okay for me to look at the chart myself. But I've been at this for 66 days now, and deciphering the chart opened up a new world. I get a different perspective from the chart than what the nurse tells me. Put it together and it's a bigger picture. Quinn is my child. I want the full picture. But I probably don't need to explain this. It's a natural desire. Pray for continued improvement.

1. I'm grateful for every step in the right direction.
2. I'm grateful for Quinn's determination to get better.
3. I'm grateful for any and all time we can spend together as a family.
4. I'm grateful for weekends, which mean family time and horse time.
5. I can't believe I'm going to admit this one, but I'm grateful for the rain. We actually needed it, and I admit that. I've come far.
