So yesterday, I managed to have, not one, but two cars break on me. We were at the hospital and, after visiting with Mira for a bit, came back to find that I had left the lights on. Two guys were nice enough to jump us but, as it turns out, the starter refused to budge. The key goes in most, but not all, of the way, but it won't turn. So it's fucked. We're going to try another key to make sure that's not a problem, but if that doesn't work, we just may abandon the car since it's an old, abused POS.
So Christina's dad picks us up and takes us to his place so that we can borrow a car of his. We go back to the hospital for a bit and then to Mom's for dinner. On our way out, I slide into a curb thanks to the egregious amount of snowfall. The wheel is crazy bent and pinching the tire. To add insult to injury, the hubcap is pretty broken too. Ironically, it drives a lot like my car right now - pretty shaky and wobbly. Fuck.
On the other and, Mira's doing really well. So far, she's had both her oxygen tube and her feeding tube taken out. She's bottle feeding - they bumped her up to 20 cc's of breast milk every 3 hours, which is a huge step up from just having an IV in her hand. She still has signs of jaundice that is getting worse, so at the moment she is under a blue light to break up the bilirubin (ie dead red blood cells) in her blood. It very much looks like a tanning booth that she's in.
I have more pictures up!
