<- How sweet is this? Melted my heart. Thank you, sweet friends.
I'm in the parent's lounge while my Scarlette has another x-ray. She's such a little fighter. She just started a new blood pressure medicine and we're praying that will be the key to getting her stable.
While I wait, I thought I'd share a few funny hospital stories with y'all.
1) First of all, Scarlette's surgeon? He's an incredibly talented and skilled man. Also? He looks exactly like the guy in The Princess Bride that says "INCONCEIVABLE!" To prove this, my father had never seen her surgeon but picked him out of a crowd after my description.
2) In the cafeteria there is a dispenser for utensils. It's labeled KNIVES, FORKS and MULTIPURPOSE SPOONS. I do not understand this, as the spoons are just regular spoons. I mean, it's not like they are even sporks.
3) People always mispronounce our last name. It's TARE-EL. But everyone always says TUH-RELL and I rarely correct them. I gave our last name to one of the hospital staff the other day and she said "Carol?" and when I said no she asked me to spell it. So I did. And she says "OH, you mean TUH-RELL." And I was like, um, well no, I did not mean TUH-RELL, as I'm pretty sure that between the two of us, I am the one who knows how to correctly pronounce my last name."
I'm so grateful for a little bit of humor in these days. I love and cherish each of you so very much.
