30 Days of Thankfulness: November 5th: A sound

 A sound.

This very minute I am grateful for the sound of Casey's ventilator.  He's still sleeping as he sleeps until noon on Saturdays :)  Gene and I can do things around the house, or do nothing if we are not feeling like doing chores and we can tell by the sound of his ventilator that he is sleeping soundly (or not).  Maybe I should say "sounds over the baby monitors".  We have the base monitors (2) in the Wish Room where he sleeps.  Then we have one in his 'old' room (he used to sleep there and it's connected to his bathroom that the nurses use), one in the kitchen and one in our bedroom upstairs.  So anywhere in the house we go, we can hear him!  We are so tuned into his sounds that we inherently know how he is doing. It's also good when Casey wants some alone time.  We know what he's doing and how he's doing by the sounds on the monitor but we don't have to been in the actual room with him.  He can get a little independence this way!
