Check Ups

Hi, it's me again. Tova.  I'm doing another post (as you can probably tell) and this time on what I do when Declan goes for his "checkups" at NYU. So the very first thing I have to deal with is Declan forever talking about going. For up to a week before, it's "What time are we going?" and, "Will you get me some movies?" The second thing I have to deal with is the very slightest bit of jealousy. I mean, who doesn't want to sit in a bed for three days, (without school) sleep as long as you want, and have all-access to movies, TV, books, computer, the works. Even If you have a million wires attached to your head. But other than that, the procedure is now totally easy for me, because I've done it a couple times now. It's the same thing: Dr. Devinsky's office calls, alerting the open bed, Mom, Dad, and Declan swoop up their pre-packed bags and head to the car, while I say "Bye!" "Love you guys!" and "See you soon!" along with my grandparents who now live in the same town as we do. Plus there's barely any separation anxiety, because my parents take turns sleeping at the hospital with Declan, and the other stays home. And sometimes if it's convenient, I visit Declan in the hospital. That's always fun because he's totally excited to see me and I'm excited to see him and he makes me sit on the bed with him to play his Nintendo DS with him. So now it's totally easy for me to do this. In fact, it's normal.
