I do believe we're nearing the end of our stay here with Kurt at the hospital. If all things work out, we'll be packing up and he'll be getting discharged tomorrow. In retrospect, here are 10 things (plus 1) that I'll remember forever from this experience:
10--Wearing a long-sleeved shirt and two layers of jackets (in July and August) in the hospital is pretty much the norm;
9--Hearing and being able to identify the "infusion complete" alarm from 50 yards in any direction;
8--Loving the smell of fresh Purell in the morning--and every other hour of the day;
7--Not loving powdered scrambled eggs in the cafeteria--I'm never eating them again--ever.
6--Learning the names of and befriending several staff members--some of the finest professionals I've ever met;
5--Learning to sleep in a well-lit waiting area with noise all around and not hearing or seeing a thing;
4--Knowing that Kurt leaves this building known as being a receiver of multiple miracles;
3--Praying that everyone becomes an organ donor;
2--Praying that no one needs an organ donor;
1--Learning that everyday, no matter what the consequence, God truly has it under control--we just need to let go and acknowledge it.
Plus 1: Live Life Like We Mean It--Every Minute, Every Day
