We Slept at Erlanger
Shortly after after 9 a.m. yesterday, upon getting to work at Erlanger, my wife (who is six months pregnant) fainted in the hospital's post office. Before doing so, she got the attention of a doctor she knew, who helped her to the floor and then brought her to the emergency room. A couple of her co-workers called me to let me know about the situation. I got to the hospital shortly afterwards, quite panicked but composed.
We're guessing that my wife's blood sugar had dipped (she didn't eat breakfast yesterday), causing her condition. After several (see: nine) hours in the ER, she was finally given a room on the seventh floor. After returning to the house to feed the cats and get some clothes, I joined Melissa in the hospital room. It was an oddly enjoyable experience, as it was nice and quiet and we both got a lot of much-needed rest. Melissa was discharged around 9 a.m. today and is doing fine.
My niece Joy has proposed "Alexander" as Sam's middle name. While I agree with her assessment that it "pretty much goes well with any and all first names," I think we're leaning towards using a family name if we can -- unless there's someone in the family with the name "Alexander." Joy?
The Red Sox swept the Royals, beating them 1-0 both of the last two nights behind great pitching performances by Jon Lester, Josh Beckett and Jonathan Papelbon. Lester is on my Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball team (nicknamed the "Dinkin' Flickas") and has gone 5-0 since I picked him up. My team is creeping up the standings, overtaking many of the ol' Connecticut friends of mine that are also in the league.
