Morning
Had a late night last night, talking to Marx. He needed somebody to hug him. He got that. He also needed someone to talk to who understood all of what was going on. It's a little traumatic to see your best friend suddenly not be there. He was finally able to tell me, coherently, everything that had happened. He's been in shock this past week. He didn't have Darkside to wrap him up and take care of him. He told me everything he'd done, and I reassured him that his instincts were correct, that he'd done the right thing, that even though he'd been petrified, he'd done the right thing by keeping her from whacking into anything and making sure she wouldn't choke and calling 911. He was out of shock by the time he was able to finally go to bed; that's why the entire process took five hours. That's not bad, for dealing with something like this. You take as long as it takes, and then make sure it took.
One of the things that it's easy to miss around a drastic illness or other traumatic event is the witnesses, family and friends. They're going to need love and hugs and to talk it out too.
He's far more himself this morning. A little shaken, but that's only to be expected; this, however, is something that will go away on its own after a few hours or days. No more than 48 hours, I'd say.
Nephew got up the earliest. He's been very good about waiting to get up until someone's alarm clock goes off. He went to bed at eight last night, and six the night before that, so it makes sense that he'd be up early today. He got his cereal, and I made him spider orange juice.
