All nighter continued again

It's nearly 5:30AM. We haven't heard anything from the OR but should soon. It's now been 8 hours since Tricia's surgery began.

Since I last checked in I've eaten some trail mix, a cookie, watched bits and pieces of 4 old Law and Orders and done what little napping you can do while sitting in a waiting room chair.

Nurses and staff have no problem bursting through the door here and talking loudly. Can't they see this is our bedroom?

Before long I'm going to have to find another cup of Joe, but I'm slowly waking up.

Gail spent about an hour with Gwyneth, but started getting sleepy. She's reading a Readers Digest. Agnes is somewhere wandering. Don's asleep and Nate is on his Mac.

Soon the sun will rise and our hope and prayer is that nothing could be finer than this day in Carolina in the mornin'.

For you who have confessed to insomnia and to you who are yet to awake, thanks for the prayers.
