Farewell Aunt Jill




Susanne was falling down on the job. This was the second night that Susanne had slept through her alarm since Jill had been there. This would not have been such a big deal if Jill was not having to set her alarm for an estimated time to disconnect Paxton's NG feeding. Susanne was in complete and utter shock to find out that she unconsciously turned off her alarm without remembering ever hearing it in the first place. This was extremely uncharacteristic for her especially since she was usually such a light sleeper. The plan from there on out was for her to put her alarm across the room so she would have to get up to turn it off.

Susanne drove Jill to the metro later this morning. She was sad to see her go. Susanne was so thankful for all of the help that Jill had provided over the last week. She could not have survived without her. Paxton was going to miss her too. Hopefully, it would not be too long before she was able to visit again.

Susanne spent the rest of the afternoon trying to catch up on the things on her to do list. She also started to organize a few things for next week. Paxton has four appointments, Maverick has one appointment, and Susanne has to start back at work.

Paxton decided that today was the day for rest and recuperation. He slept pretty much the whole day and he had no episodes of vomiting. Susanne tried to maximize the small amount of awake time that he had. Among other things, she read him the book, "Horton Hears A Who". He seemed to enjoy it very much especially looking at the pictures of Horton. Oh, Horton!

Goodnight, sleep tight everyone.
