Tink...I'm going to go outside and see if I can find a star to make a wish on. Then I'm going to get ready for bed and say my prayers. I'll fall asleep hoping...wishing and praying for one thing and one thing only...you know what that is. Sleep well little girl...you are so very special, your mommy is too!!!

I just got home from the vet school. I went straight after church was out - well, I did a Taco Bell drive through.;)

When I got to Tink's little isolette, she was laying propped up on a blanket in her little nightgown sucking on her frog and twitching her ears. I was very quiet so I could just watch her for a minute. Her IVs are out and her hair was all brushed. She looked so much better than yesterday!

Barb wasn't there but the young man who is interning with her came over and talked to me. He said Tink is taking the food well from the syringe and had a potty in the morning when they woke her up. She is trying to turn and get up but not able to do it yet. While I watched her, she reminded me of a newborn puppy checking out the air with its nose and pumping it's little arms and legs. It's alot more than I expected to see. Don took me to a room with a comfy recliner and brought Tink. I sat in the recliner and held her on my chest like I do every night. It felt so good. She just kept sniffing and licking my neck - I use that term loosely. It was more like slobbery snuggles. I'm convinced she knew me. Don wasn't sure, but I want to think she did. I think she can see pretty well too. Don again wasn't sure, but she sucked on my finger when I held it in front of her and when the light caught my rings, she blinked her eyes. I remembered when my little foster son used to do that and he was supposedly blind. I kept telling the doctors and finally one did some more test and lo and behold! So I have good reason to think Tink can see.

She's very limp and can't hold her head up but I hear they were working on that yesterday and today. I've not seen how the PT people work with her yet. Don said since she isn't on IVs anymore, they are also taking her out of her "house" and carrying her around in a sling a little bit unless she crys.

Don't you think this sounds good? I do! Maybe I'm wishing too much into the circumstances. But I want to be as positive as I can. I suppose it's a good thing Don is very realistic to keep me from getting to eager.

I'm not going back tonight. I'm really tired and I think I'll go lay down for awhile. I need to prepare for the work week yet tonight also. Thank you all for your emails and IMs, and PMs, and post with prayers and good thots. Thank you for the candles too. It all means so much to me.
