My poor baby is still in the hospital and suffering so much.  I found it difficult to concentrate on anything and I have no appetite. The thought of her being in pain actually physically hurts me and so all I could manage was tea and toast.  COVID has been responsible for many things but through all of this time, this is the first time it has directly been the cause of my anguish. I wish I could go, kiss her forehead and hold her hand. Meanwhile I sit here waiting for news not even able to eat.
