Tired and stressed

Does this describe Emma or me?

Yes.  (I've had about two hours of sleep in the past 38 hours, so this is going to be brief.)

Recovery so far has been rough for Emma.  Until this morning if she wasn't sleeping, she was crying.  That made for a long hard night.  Today she ate some and played some and has slept much better.  However, when the nurses or doctors have to do anything to her, she freaks out.  We've had to change dressings and an IV.  She screams "Mommy!" at the top of her lungs while I hold her hand brush her hair and cheeks and say, "I'm here.  It's okay.  We're trying to get you healthy and strong."  It's awful.  

Keep praying against infection and for no leaking of the spinal fluid.  We've not been told either has occurred yet.  And pray that we both get some sleep tonight.  

This woman's sole job at the hospital is to play with the kids, explain what's happening and make their stay as comfortable and fun as possible.  Emma wanted to sit up, she's explaining that it's okay to play lying down.  :)
