The days run together so, it's hard to remember what was yesterday or today or the day before...they've all been much the same.  Delirium has made communication difficult since Jimmy began taking the steroids, but his oxygen intake is better.

Yesterday Jamey hired a sitter to stay with Jimmy last night. This was the first time in the 7 years he's been sick that I've left him like that.  She came at 10PM and when I came back at 9:30 this morning, Jimmy had the mittens on, was talking gibberish and not at all happy. Shona, the sitter, said that they'd had a busy night, with Jimmy's pulling the mask off, trying to pull the catheter out, and attempting to get out of bed.

I felt badly leaving him last night, but not so badly that I couldn't sleep eleven hours straight.
