Beckygram: Groovy

So, I’m thinking that once this cardiac baby gig works out, I’m going to audition for the Partridge Family reboot. Or maybe The Brady Bunch.

‘Cause I’ve already got the pants. And I’m feeling that ’70s groove.

Awareness

Many summers ago, Greta and Angela attended a day camp with their cousins Ann and Kathleen. It was called Camp Awareness. My sister has this pictured framed and hanging in her home.

Awareness. A peculiar name for a summer camp. But a word that was on my mind during Becky’s time in the PCICU.

Calendar Reminders

It’s been awhile since I posted an update. Strangely, I have more time to post when Becky is in the hospital and I’m sitting long days at her bedside. I love to write mostly because I love to think. I’ve been keeping this blog for over a year now. What started as a way to handle Covid quarantine took an unexpected turn with Becky.

It has been a life saver for me.

I’m sporting a new style these days. Thanks to my Dad.

I’m pretty sure there’s an issue with the order of my outfit.

Home Again

Becky was discharged from the hospital yesterday.

After an unexpected emergency room visit and a subsequent second open heart surgery, she returned home on her 5 month birthday.

Yesterday afternoon, I received the results of Becky’s recent echo.

It’s the first time I have heard a medical professional use the word normal when it comes to our daughter.

Yesterday was a big day as Becky was moved to the floor.

When the morning began, I suspected that we would be moved to the floor. After all, I needed to leave for several hours to get my second Covid shot and Michael had traffic court. Things tend to come in threes, so I figured something would be added to an already chaotic day. I was right.
