Day +2

Short update: Zoe is still doing well--for a transplant patient anyway. She is on a constant morphine drip now for pain management, she only took two ounces of milk by mouth today, and she alternates between cranky and sleeping--with a few bursts of her usual happy self here and there.

They say this is all usual and expected.

I can't decide if I want the waiting period between now and the hoped-for engraftment to fly by, or inch along. Certainly I am not in love with living mostly at the hospital--but, in the present moment, Zoe is doing well.

The present moment is all I know. I'll-- no wait, I do--take it.
