Friday had finally come...the day I left Santa Fe to go see Sonya in the hospital, after a week without being with her. I decided to take the Railrunner after work and a co-worker of mine who already rides it, showed me the ropes of the commute. All I had to pay was a buck to take the Park & Ride bus from work to the station at the South Capital complex. Yeah, the ride took longer than a vehicle commute, but it was pretty smooth. It was kinda funny watching how people loose their balance as they walk through the train...When I got to downtown Albuquerque station, my grandma who came to Albuq. also, was able to pick me up. I arrived to Sonya's room around 7pm & it was so awesome to see my wife after being away from her for a week! She welcomed me w/open arms of course and we spent the night catching up. Not that we didn't do that during the week on the phone, but it's just different face to face.
So far, the weekend has been a relaxing time with Sonya. Not a thing to do. I kind of needed this rest for quite some time. On Saturday, the Dr. gave the okay for her to get some fresh air for 1/2 an hour so I wheeled her outside on a wheelchair. It was disappointing though, to see that there were a few people outside smoking where there were clearly big signs that said "This Is A Smoke-Free Campus", having no consideration for patients (or my wife) who want to go outside for FRESH AIR! We just rolled to another area & enjoyed some people-watching. That fresh air was good for Sonya and we were told that she can have a 1/2 hour each day of being outside!!
Today, I'll be getting a ride back home with my mom who will be visiting Sonya for a while. But it will be hard to leave Sonya again. :o( I'm basically going to keep working to accrue more hours until it's time for our baby to be born. I hope to see Sonya at least more than once during the week though...besides spending weekends with her.
My prayer request is that God give me comfort while I'm away from Sonya and Malakai...and that this trial will pass with God's Grace.
