The Queen's Dethronement -- March 05, 2003

No PICC line today. The nurse tried and failed. Next plan is to send us home Thursday with a peripheral IV and have a home health nurse come by to administer the antibiotics. I don't have a good feeling that this will happen just based on our rotten luck lately; so we may be looking at 7 more days in the hospital.

if i didn't know better

had i not crested each wave of labor to your glorious
emergence
had i not been there for your debut
i would have thought you were dropped from heaven
your body damaged in the fall
but your spirit whole — big, beautiful and pure

never imagining my love to be so complete and selfless
not expecting my fierce desire to make your little body able
and perfect
or my fear to change anything
lest my meddling somehow diminish your beauty

You have captivated me
my sweet, imperfect angel
