Day 1885. They had told me at the hospital last night to be prepared to have to stay today.  And so it's with that awareness that I got ready to leave the house and said good-bye to the kids. We all left the house together just before 8:30 am and walked to the subway, but then we parted ways, as I had to pick up my prescription from the pharmacy before getting on the subway.

Day 1884. This day turned out very differently from what I had expected! Because Sammy was still not feeling well, he was staying home today and was with me in bed, watching videos of himself and his siblings, when they were little. He was crying hard, when Daddy left with his siblings, as he wanted Daddy, but I was able to distract him and get him happy again.

Day 1883. Yesterday was Sunday, and I got up as early as everyone else. At some point I went downstairs to do piano practice with the kids. I was still hurting. While downstairs, I saw Randy teaching the boys how to play baseball. Sammy is a very good thrower. Just after 11 am I went to the kitchen to cook.
