Sketch of Knox in the Hospital

I had the previous post ready to go when I got home tonight but I’m actually just home from the hospital.  Dad is taking a turn so I can get some fresh clothes and see to the others.

Knox is having a severe reaction to a virus and isn’t eating or drinking.  His mouth, tongue, and throat are covered in painful ulcers and he’s having morphine around the clock to relieve his pain.

Tough times.

I sketched this quickly while Knox was finally resting after an extremely difficult couple of hours.  I think it’s a terrible drawing, which makes it perfect for this terrible sickness.

It’s only been three days but I miss visiting many of your blogs, especially all the Friday painters.   Maybe I can talk my daughter into letting me borrow her iPad at the hospital for the next day or two and catch up.  Blessings to you all ~Scarlett
