Today has been a good day, in lots of different ways, actually...
The doctor called this morning, with a good report on Savannah. She's doing well, he said. They put her back on her feedings again, and they will keep increasing the amounts, as she can tolerate them. Everything else looks good, and at this point, no news is great news for her. As long as things are uneventful, that is the best for her right now. She's doing very well, and her progress makes me very happy.
I had a wonderful phone conversation with Halsted today. We've both been busy and emotionally tied up with Things lately, and hadn't had a good chance to connect on or offline, and just talk. It felt good, and it was definitely a bright spot in my day, since I think that in different ways, we've both been concerned about each other. I'm glad to have talked to her, and eliminate at least a little of the worry I'd been carrying around, about her, anyway. 'Sted tells me that's she's made some progress of her own. And that also makes very happy.
I went to the doctor, to check my blood pressure and make sure that my preeclampsia is still under control. My pressure wasn't great, but it was definitely better than it has been. I'm still on the medicine for it, and hopefully by my six week postpartum appointment, I might not have to take the medicine anymore. So, that is progress for my condition as well. And I'm glad I'm not in as much danger as I had been with the preeclampsia, too.
The progress on my journal entry today, has been a bit slow, as I started this early this afternoon, but it's still progress. Slow or not. That seems to be the consistent factor in all of this today, as I'm thinking about it...
Progress is often a very slow process, but as long as it is progress... it's all good. Whether it's with Savannah, my dearest friends, or myself, slow is just fine. It gives me less and less to worry about, and lots more to be happy about. I know how good it makes me feel to make progress in something, and it makes me feel even better, when I know someone I love is making progress, too.
