So three wonderful things have happened in the last two days. Just this morning my mom brought Jocey and Aimee up to the hospital for a couple hours so I could see them. It was so much fun playing with them in the playroom here at the hospital. Also they had packed a yummy picnic lunch for us all to enjoy. It was so nice to be with them. Last night Cody came up after work (he usually does during his work week) and he stayed in Ben's room in the hospital with me. I really loved being with him too and had really been missing him a lot. And now the big news...As of yesterday morning Ben is officially on the waiting list for a heart transplant!!! Yeah!!! So now we wait...
