good day overall. had lunch and play date with lyndi and aidan. always wonderful. lyndi is one of those people that i would consider one of my best friends but i don't see all that often. i'm not sure why. every time we hang out it is refreshing and safe and fun. i resolve to do it more often.

this afternoon we went over to the hospital to see christopher. we stayed for about two hours. my mom was there and jimmy and stephen stopped by while we were there too. he had some pretty good pain killers in his system so the conversation wasn't too profound... :)... in fact in the middle of talking with stephen and i he suddenly said... "okay, guys, i'm sorry but i've got a show to watch and turned on simpsons. :) ha! but in the spaces where he wanted to talk... he sounded more optimistic and peaceful than normal. he's usually very agitated and upset in the hospital but he seemed accepting and tender.

two doctors came in while i was there to talk things over with him and they were very comforting and encouraging but also very honest about the seriousness of his condition. it's hard to watch him.

we'll go back in the morning to keep him company until my mom can get there. his only request was chocolate cream savers. :)
