[tri-med] Re: Hannah in the hospital

I am sorry to hear that Hannah is back in the hospital, but glad to hear she
seems to be doing well.
I also wanted to comment that I LOVE your idea to bring your own air
mattress.  I never thought of that.  Is it just a twin size mattress?  Does
it fit OK in the room?  Do you share a room?

 Our children's hospital is old and Caroline usually is sharing a room.  If
you are on the door side of the room, you don't even really have access to a
bathroom without seeming to intrude on your roommate.  I think they are
building a new hospital will all private rooms.

Anyway, my mom has an aerobed.  You just plug it in and it blows up.  I need
to bring that next time!!!  Sleeping on a chair just doesn't cut it and I
usually don't sleep a wink.

Thinking good thoughts and hoping you will all be home again soon!!!!

Take Care,
Irene
