    Sang "Riverheart" - Whitewood Creek; Zeb Foley
  * 11pm bath

I'm embarassed to say I didn't post a "done yesterday" post yesterday.

The main event was the care conference at Colleen's bedside; most of my major questions from last week were either answered or became moot. I think the biggest change was the PT department's decision to push her harder.

A longish call to AT&T to give Kat unlimited text messaging resulted in the revelation that it was only $35 for the whole family, as opposed to $20/phone. So yay.

A fascinating IM conversation with pocketnaomi about her song "Riverheart" resulted in the revelation that the river in question is Whitewood Creek in the Black Hills of South Dakota. I promptly went to visit Colleen and sang it to her.

A pretty good day, on the whole.
