Today there are Two!

There will only be two children in my care today. Perhaps for the rest of the week. Ty did not return from the doctor appointment, but made his debut at the hospital. This is not the first time the docs have wanted hospitalization, but it is the first time they have insisted on it. Baby Girl and Caleb spent the night with me at my house. Right now, they seem more comfortable here than in their own home. Their house is huge for one thing and I think that when people are missing, it seems overwhelming instead of homey. There is still some tension there as well and even adults can feel it. Children are even more sensitive.

Anyway, I do not know how Ty is. His father was very abrupt on the phone. I didn't take it personally. He is worried. He feels guilty. We all do. My daughter says the docs say that this has nothing to do with his day to day care. It is a common problem. But they have to do tests today that require sedation. Poor Ty. Caleb misses him terribly and wanted several reassurances that Ty actually had a bed at the hospital. I think we are going to get to see him today. Hopefully Caleb can too. Depends on the tests. It is Children's Hospital so they do have different rules of visitation with siblings.

Ty did speak briefly with me on the phone last night. He is concerned about the party we were planning for his finishing Kindergarten. He has a former babysitter in town who was plannning to come. We have to postpone it until next Friday. She will have to return to her new home state by then. Oh well. She is welcome to come see his reading house and car and all the projects that will be on display. Caleb will be moving up from preschool to pre-K also. Ty also wants me to bring him the portable video player I promised him. Please keep him in your prayers.
