It’s almost eleven.
Griffin has probably gotten pulled into something—the tracker has been lighting up all night for him too. It’s a busy night in emergency medicine apparently.

I spent the last two nights waking up every forty minutes because my bladder apparently believed three drops of urine required immediate evacuation.
Tonight, for the first time, I can actually get comfortable.
I can lie still without that pressure starting again.
The relief is so profound I could cry over it.
My phone buzzes.
I grab it, expecting Griffin.
It's the Dexcom.
