Journal entry by Elinor Strandskov —
I wish that I were better at updating our journal on the good days. Or even just on the mundane days. But people only want to read about drama anyway, right? Well, unfortunately, we have had some!
Yesterday afternoon Cordelia had a fall in the bathroom. There was quite a bit of blood coming from a head wound that Suzanne and I could not see. I took her to the ER at the UofM (Suzanne definitely got the short end of stick - cleanup) and they brought her in immediately. She had to have some stitches, and looks quite a bit worse for wear, but her cat scan was clear and her cognitive abilities are no worse than normal ( ;p hey, I am her little sister- I have to tease sometimes!).
As I told Bea this morning, “This sucks. It is just sucky, and we don’t have to find a bright side, it just is the suckiest to have Mama in the hospital on her birthday.”
Cordelia will almost certainly be discharged in the morning (Saturday). Our Easter 2021 may look different than we had planned, but we will still celebrate the promise of resurrection that it represents.
