The Things They Dream About
Tonight, I went in to check on Liv in bed to make sure she was covered up. As I walked in the room she sat up.
She looked confused -- her eyes were wide open -- and started struggling to get her hands out from under the blankets. She struggled for a little while until I helped her and she took one hand and wiggled it in front of herself while making a squeaking sound.
I asked her if her hand was asleep, thinking she was trying to shake the tingly feeling that comes from constrained circulation.. She struggled with words for about 15 seconds and finally said:
"No, it's (her hand) talking and only a hand would understand what it's saying."
Pause.
Wiggling her hand again she continued, "squeak, squeak."
And then I slowly pushed her back onto her pillow and she was out again immediately.
