And yes, Bev, what they said. All the strength and ~ma in the world to you.

Sean, how is S doing?

The support means a lot, Sean, even at a distance, it means more than I can say.

When we got up to the floor for visiting hours last night the trauma ICU had a new patient, and there had to be two dozen friends and family members clogging the hallway. The horror, despair, and sorrow was palpable.

There's something to be said for physically present support, but knowing StE has people sending prayers and good wishes from all over is just as powerful, so I can't thank you all enough. It means more than I can say.

How's S doing? And how are you?

And has anybody heard from JZ or Hec today?

Oh dear Beverly. I wish there was something more to do than send loving support. Keeping calm is the mom's job. It sounds like you have a good medical team doing their job. Those kind of fevers are so very scary. Much love sent your way and positive healing strength to StE.

IT'S EVERYWHERE.

Bobby is so very good about reading his labels. He totally gets the sugar=headache for him. He always asks if restaurants have sugar free desert options. He asks friends parents about ingredients used in snacks offered. He is cute in his efforts, but still once or twice a month he is in pain. Usually it is from not eating often enough. We still have to work on the eating 6 times a day does not equal eating 6 huge meals a day.

Bev, Sean, all my punctuation are belong to you.

Beverly...sending cooling thoughts the way of StE, and more peace to you and the rest of your family.

Interesting article Jessica. Must look into blue blocking glasses. Brendon's bus will be picking him up at 6:40am starting Wednesday. Eeep. After a summer of reading until 4-5am and sleeping until mid-afternoon this is gonna hurt. I think he will get to school in time to eat breakfast in the cafeteria so that would be cool. GF a few blocks away has son in the same class, so our plan is to work out at 6:40 when the boys get on the bus. That is the plan, a good plan, now to see if we can keep it up.

And has anybody heard from JZ or Hec today?

::hugs Bev::

JZ's perfectly fine. She's getting very restless, but also has that ennervated, crapped out feeling from being inside all the time. I'm going to go make her sit on the porch this morning.

We've had a nice run of visitors to keep her sane. Juliana came over for a Slings and Arrows marathon on Thursday night. JZ's friend Marta came over last night. Both of her parents have been by too. Lee and Juliana, of course, when we first got out of the hospital.

Emmett and I are going to play some tennis this morning and then probably go see a movie. This is his last week of camp. Then I've got him for the last week and a half before school starts on the 30th. Emmett is deeply bitter that school is starting in August instead after Labor Day.

Emmett has a limited menu, but enough to keep him alive. Vegetables don't go into him very often, but I try to counter that with fresh fruit and smoothies and Odwalla. Fortunately he's so freakin' active that his metabolism seems very efficient at extracting the necessary nutrients.

Have I mentioned that EM is not only NOT getting married now, but she's ended the relationship? I think I mentioned that. I haven't mentioned that she's just asked one of Emmett's coaches to go on a date. This will be...interesting. Wayne is one of Emmett's favorite coaches, and he's also the father of Emmett's close friend and teammate Jack.

Oh man, Beverly...vibing for the fever to go down, hoping that it killed off some bad stuff while leaving brain functions undamaged (moreso), and that the liquid thing gets solved. You are always in my thoughts.

What was the accident? All over trauma or specifically StE's head?
