Room with a view...

looking out from Ryan's hospital room 9/1/2016

It felt strange to say goodnight to Ryan and then leave him at the hospital last night.  He was admitted with a myriad of ailments yesterday and it was evening time before they moved his stretcher to the patient room and transferred him to a bed.  I was tired and hadn't noticed how nice the patient room they assigned him was until Ryan said "mom look at how nice this room is."  suddenly I noticed a spacious room with a large window and nice view.  Our visit to the emergency room had lasted all day and into the evening and when the medical team had Ryan feeling a little better he requested a Dr. Pepper (carbonated beverage) I found one in a vending machine outside the emergency room entrance and returned with what is perhaps Ryan's favorite thing.  When he had the first sip of  Dr. Pepper his face sofented and he muttered, so good.  It is a memory worth noting for me, it was just so sweet.  Today Ryan is comfortable and resting, the sounds of the hospital are soothing white noise for me.  It's another sunny day in Texas and I'm going to enjoy being in a sunny room with my favorite guy surrounded by smart friendly people who are helping Ryan feel better.  No matter what your circumstances are today try and look for the best parts, I'll be doing the same.
