Ashley has had another lazy day. She just sat in my lap all day long. She would not let anyone else hold her and she would not lay down in her crib. She just wanted to sit on her Daddy's lap. It is probably a good thing that I am not the one here with her full time. If I was I would probably grown barnacles on my backside. The nurses would all be begging Trish to come back because I would be pushing the nurse call button everytime I needed a drink or wanted the lights turned off. It's a good thing Sammy was here to run errands for me. He said he was here to help with anything I needed, so I asked him to rub my feet and he had to draw the line. I really have enjoyed having him here to talk with.

Ash had a few tough episodes since I have been here. They have had to re tape her central line 3 times. She absolutely hates this. Not because it hurts, but because she has to be held down and restrained to get it done. On Monday they plan on putting in a permanent line so my prayer tonight is that the line she has now can just hang on through tonight and tomorrow. I am going to head back to the room to see that little Gherkin now.

Goodnight,

DAVE
