Aisling lays in the recliner pretending to sleep. Knowing that Astila won't go If she is awake. She really doesn't want to let him go but knows he must be tired after performing surgery. Looking at her sister knowing how close she came to possibly losing her. Makes her want to cry. Thank goodness they came home when they did. Getting up and walking to the bed. She touches her sister's cheek making sure she was fever free. Kissing her forehead. She goes back to sit in the recliner. Looking at the window up into the night sky. Aisling decides to have a heart to heart with the big guy.
"Heavenly Father thank you so much for my sister. Without her I would be lost most days. She brings me joy and has always given me encouragement. I thank you for my huge family without them. I do not know where I would be. They always are there for me even when I don't know I need them. Thank you father for sending Astila to me. ThankYou for giving him the skills to save my sister. Mostly and mist important thank you for loving me and keeping me safe. Amen." By the time she finished praying Debra woke up and was calling for her.
"Aisling I need water can you ask if I can have some please?" Aisling smiles at her and gets up. She walks to the nurses station and asks if Debra is allowed water. The nurse informs her no but she can have ice chips. So Aisling gets a cup and goes back to the room to help her eat a few. Within a few minutes Debra is back to sleep. Aisling looks out the window wondering if she will get any sleep tonight. It's only been a short time but she missed Astila. Wondering if he is a sleep yet. Wondering if him and Sam are ok with the twins. Debra slept most of the night even through the nurses coming in and emptying the various bags she had from surgery. Aisling was relieved that they were able to give her medicine to dry up her milk. It would be difficult for her to produce good milk for the twins. By the time she would be home they would be used to formula. Aisling hopes she will be awake longer the next day. She wants to be the one to tell her that she is getting married. She can't trust the family to not say any thing.
Sam stays awake most of the night. The twins are missing their mama. He knows he will be able to get some rest before visiting hours the next day. The aunties will be back in a few short hours. Then he can rest awhile. He wants to call Aisling but it's too late.
