Same 'ole routine

I've basically begun a routine of how my day begins. By after 6am, when the nurse brings me my due medication, I give Leon a morning call before we start our day. After that, I'm usually freshened up and have my makeup on by 8:30, just in time for breakfast. Then, after or during breakfast, I email Leon & check other emails and get on Facebook. By the time I know it, lunch is delivered. Around noon, I'm due for my meds again. Sometimes I'll read a little or listen to a biblical teaching after lunch. Lately, I've been working on a cross-stitch project that they provide here in the hospital. It's a picture of 3 peas in a pod on a little bib for Malakai. I've never done cross-stitch before, but it seems to relax me when I'm working on it. Depending on if someone's here at the time, I'll go outside on a wheelchair for some air around 2pm or 3pm for about 1/2 an hour. When 6pm rolls around I'm due for my meds again. Dinner is served between 5pm & 6pm. After dinner I'll figure out something to watch on TV. Then, around 8:30 Leon & I will talk on the phone for a while. When 10pm rolls around, I'll fall asleep when the news is on. Each day I'll do things a little different, but for the most part...Up at 6am, in bed after 10pm.

During the day on Friday, a friend of ours from church came to bring some dinner for Leon & I. She made an awesome spagetti w/meatballs and rolls with some oil & vinegar to dip 'em in. Her little package included our eating utencils, bowls, and even some sparkling cider and candels! It was so delicious.
This weekend Leon decided not to take the train and drove down instead. So he was also able to go to the store for some things he needed at home, while he was here in Albuquerque.
On Sunday, our friend's Kelly and Agnes came to visit us for a while and we had a good talk with them. It was good to see them here, since we hadn't seen them in quite a while. During the afternoon, Leon & I watched Nacho Libre but didn't do much else except keep each other company. Then, it was time for Leon to leave...which is always a sad time for us because it's so hard to be apart after having such sweet time together over the weekend.
Today I had my ultrasound and little Malakai did better with showing his practice breathing. Although, he decided to take a nap while the tech was checking him so it took some time for his movement to be checked off on the list of things they look for.
~Today's prayer request: That God will comfort Leon & I while we are apart from one another and for Leon's bosses to be more understanding and sensitive about our situation.
