When Mom Was in the Hospital

This outing between father and son to a large, franchised, semi-Italian restaurant might have been a regular Tuesday dinner for some, but we both had heavy hearts and worried minds during this feast. Our number one woman, wife and mom, had been whisked to the hospital a day earlier with serious complications from COVID 19. This was a blessing in disguise as we found that she was septic from an infection in her port (daily IV fluids for POTS/dysautonomia).

While waiting for her healing and recovery, we went to his favorite restaurant, Olive Garden, to comfort with food and enjoy the relaxation of being waited on, not having to worry about prep or cleanup. At this meal, I tried my best to lessen the weight that worry and the unknown would press upon his heart; dad jokes and celebration of Plants vs Zombies upgrades and achievements. The food nourished him, the gaming device occupied his mind, and the company hopefully comforted him.
