Well. He's officially out of the hospital! :) Ben came home today! Which was good and bad. Good because he was healthy enough to come home but bad because I didn't get to see him!
It was the first time in a week that I hadn't seen him, and I kind of missed him. I really really wanted to see him today but I figured he needed some family time.
But I'll see him soon!
I have to tell you something cute that happened though.
Yesterday I didn't have to go to work so I went to visit him instead. I got there at 8:30 and left at 12:45. Four hours with Ben was honestly the best thing ever! And for the majority of the time it was just us two. We played Mario Kart(which I kicked his butt in) we talked, we even took a nap! Which was pretty cute:) except people kept coming in and waking us up. Plus I felt awkward whenever they'd come in because I was wearing my scrubs so I'm sure they thought "what's this nurse doing sleeping in the bed with the patient??" But I'm not a nurse!! Which I had to correct quite a few people on.. Haha:)
Well eventually I had to leave and I told Ben that I didn't want to but I had to. And he said "it's ok because you'll be back right?" But Wednesdays are my super busy days and I don't normally get home until way late, and it would be past visiting hours... But I told him I'd see what I could do.
Luckily we got done at work early and so I sped on over to the hospital! When I came in he smiled and said "you came back!" It was precious:)
Then Jeremiah, Cassandra, Ben and I played movie charades/name that movie and it was the greatest seeing Ben in such high spirits:) Man I love that kid.
Another cute thing that happened: he asked
"Amy what are you doing on Monday?"
"Monday?"
"Yeah. Memorial Day"
"Umm.. Nothing!"
"Want to come to our family BBQ at grandmas?"
"I'd LOVE to!"
"Wait, hold on. Mom is it ok if Amy comes?"
She said yes and he was so excited! Me too:)
Also. I guess he woke up at 2:30 the night previous. He started unplugging all his stuff and called the nurse and told her that "I need to go skylining across the lake with Amy. Everyone is going!" Not sure what skylining is but everyone was doing it!
Well we were supposed to leave at 9 but we ended up leaving at 10... Haha. I said ok Ben well I've got to go... And he said " do I even get a hug?" So I hugged him, for a REALLY long time. Then I said
"Ben. I've gotta go..."
He squeezes tighter. "Nope. Not yet."
We are still hugging... "Ben. The nurse is going to get mad!"
Finally he let go and I went home.
I just love spending time with Ben, the highlight of my day:)
Well he's home now and he even went to the soccer championship game tonight! He'll be good as new in no time.
Anyway.
Basically I just love Ben. That's all.
