Well, as you all likely know there are some dangerous happenings in Boston right now. As a result, Mom and Christine are on their own at the hospital. Currently, nobody is allowed to enter or exit MGH. It's hard not being there, as I'd like to be able to comfort Christine, help where I can, and keep her distracted. I have spoken with Mom several times on the phone though, and they are safe and still getting care. One of her wonderful day nurses made it in to work, as well as one the Derm resident. She has had all of her necessary medications, and had her gauze dressings changed. It sounds like the biggest interruptions so far have been the lack of visitors and a lower level of food service. Her amniotic membrane contact lens seems to be falling apart and is bugging her, so they are trying to get an eye doctor (likely not her normal one) to come by and take a look.
