Hospital Bound

We finally made it up to OHSU yesterday. In my opinion, one of the most beautiful hospitals ever. OHSU lies atop the Marquam Hill and the drive up is stunning. We get to be in a sea of luscious green while the trees are in full bloom. However, when we get to the campus there is just a special spirit here. One that lies in the heart of a volunteer. A spirit of compassion, love, and sincerity. This is also how we feel about the staff that we have been blessed with while David is up here in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit. He has a week of inpatient testing here to locate and understand his seizure activity. He is by far the cutest, sweetest and most adorable patient ever in an adult setting (lets face it, nothing beats the face of a sweet little kiddo in Peds, but I am sure David was picture perfect as a child in the hospital!) He is my favorite patient ever!

We have been enjoying and making the very best of our situation up here. Our boys have been able to come visit their daddy and we all think he looks just like an Easter bunny. Don't you? So adorable! While David had some tests done today I got to go on a quick walk outside. This was fun because I took a picture of the flag pole that we see out our window every day. I could also see David in his room, which was kinda awesome and weird at the same time. You never know how many people can see in until you leave the room and feel like, oh no, the whole world can see us!! Oh well, it's worth having that beautiful PNW sunshine coming through our windows. Plus we lucked out to get a corner room. Instead of just one window we have four. Pretty spoiled I'd say! While on my walk I took a couple selfies, hospital pics, etc. It felt fantastic to get some fresh air on such a glorious spring day, but shhh...don't tell David because he can only walk a couple feet around his room. Pretty much has to stay in bed all day and he is being monitored 24/7. So he vicariously lived through me on my walk!

OHSU has always been my favorite place in Portland and I would come here often as a teenager and in college to just visit, think, and see the view of Portland. Anytime we have friends or family come in from out of town we usually take them on the tram and sky bridge. It is so much fun! One day I dream to be a nurse here, and this visit is making me so antsy to become an RN, so we will see what happens in the near future. Gotta love inspiration right???
