A little side business this past week.
On Wednesday…. I had a FB Chat message…almost didn’t read it…. but really glad I did.
My sister… lives far away in Nebraska and was just up the road in Indiana last week for the birth of a grandchild. I drove up the following day to visit with sister, niece and great niece for a few hours. All was well. Sister flew back home, niece and baby went home.
Wednesday morning Chat Message from sister- C is back in the hospital, a lot of pain. She can’t be alone with the baby in the room. Can I go?
It is 5:30 am… and I haven’t had coffee. Message back coffee and a shower and I’ll be on my way. Dressed and packed some clothes for a few days… collected electronic backup/charging stuff and was in the hospital by 9:30 am.
So what did I mostly do?
This:
Such hard work for me!!! however by doing this… mom got to rest, really rest and recover and go home yesterday from the hospital yesterday. The Grampa flew in from Missouri…. as I was leaving. But I think I will plan a little trip up… in a couple of weeks just to check in!
Needless to say….not too much else got done!!! Another left turn, but a fairly pleasant one, since everything turned out well in the end.
Do you have detours that while not in the plan are so rewarding and well worth the change of direction?
Stay tuned! More Later! Beth
Yes, big left turn! 4 days with great granddaughters while their mother had a baby boy.

What a cutie! We had to extend our Alaska visit by a week, so that we'd be here for the birth of our first grandbaby. They finally come home from the hospital later today. We fly home early on Tuesday. Hopefully we'll get more 'baby' time while they are at home, than we got at the hospital.
ReplyDeleteWell you know babies, they have their own time schedule. I'm sure you will get some time... but with you leaving ... it won't feel like enough!!!
ReplyDeleteTravel safely!
