DAY 1 PART 1

Today is officially considered day 1 of Charlotte's recovery.  She made it through the night with no major issues but she is certainly not out of the woods yet.  She has a dedicated nurse who doesn't leave her side.  They are doing lab work every hour as they continue to monitor her progress.  Most things look good and those that look a little off are dealt with quickly.  The level of knowledge, dedication, compassion, and energy of every single person involved with Charlotte's care right now absolutely blows me away.  I am really starting to question whether or not some of these people, especially Dr. Mendeloff, ever sleep.  

Sometimes I seriously feel like I am in an episode of Grey's Anatomy (sorry, its the only hospital show I've seen) as every few minutes something is beeping and people are saying words that have no meaning to me.  I told Sarah that I want to yell out "give me 10 cc's, Stat!" just to see what happens.  And one last thing.......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!!!!  I LOVE YOU!
