My CEO 129

129 Will Judy Accept Us? (Winona)

Early the next morning, I kiss Abby on the forehead while she's still sleeping and head to the hospital. It hasn't been 24 hours yet, but I want to be there in case there's any change.

My broken sleep had me waking several times from dreams of Jayden's breathing stopping while I visited. The relief when I realized it was only a dream each time had me on a rollercoaster.

But my exhausted body did still get some sleep. I've almost forgotten how to move around my house normally Not having everything monitored is great but i think it will take some getting used to I feel the rush of the cold morning air hit my face and breathe it in.

This is the first time I've been out alone for weeks. Freedom is not something I'll ever take for granted again. I'll come back and get Abby later when I know I can go in with Jayden.

Today I'm headed into the day keeping positive. Jayden will get through this. He will. I'll do whatever it

takes to get him back to whatever level of health he can reach.

If he needs care for the rest of his life, I'll be there. I think again about Judy. She says she sees our love now, that Jayden does love me. I'm not sure why she couldn't before. Anyone could see that we loved each other.

Maybe what she now sees is that she won't ever change his mind about loving me and that trying has just caused him unhappiness and, now, almost death. My chat with Lisa and Anne last night helped me stop looking at this through rose colored glasses.

Just because Judy is accepting at this moment doesn't mean she always will be. She's worried about Jayden too, so she's more accommodating. I'll reserve my judgment until he's well and see if she's hating on me again. I really hope not. i slide into my car, and I wonder if I can even remember how to drive. Feels like forever. I've got Jayden's cell phone tucked away in my purse. It's out of battery and I think I'll leave it that way until he's strong enough to want it charged himself I start up the engine and check everything before pulling out onto the road and heading for the hospital. Being independent again is the greatest feeling I wonder if Judy has been there all night?

The city waking up is a vibrant sight as I drive. Some are out walking their dog, some are jogging, some are gathered for breakfast at various food outlets. Norhat, everyday life. I envy them that
