I am still awake worrying about my eldest daughter, Leona.
She is overdue giving birth to her son.
The midwife gave her a 'sweep' last night, in the hope of moving things along.
She told me she is scared and asked for Angels to be with her.
I ask for them, too.
Hopefully, she will be asleep now, resting.
(I am remembering Leona's birth now and my own fear for my x wife.)
Such an amazing, scary, wonderful, exhausting experience having a child.
Be not afraid, my daughter.
Trust the process and relax.
My thought is my Grandson will be born today - yahoo.

Doreen Norton 1922 - 2007.
Posted: 22:30 Monday, February 18 2008
Doreen Norton, who died on December 30th, 2007, was a true pioneer in nursing for the Elderly.
It is she, who effectively changed nursing practice and eliminated 'bedsores' from the wards.
Concentrating on moving patients rather than washing them, she noted the condition did not occur.
Doreen, was also responsible for designing the Kings Fund bed, the adjustable bed used in all hospital wards.
She became a Social Worker and also wrote books on Geriatric care.
In 1982, she retired but continued to advocate change through Speeches and Talks all over the World.
Bless you, Doreen.
