Lizzie’s with me again today, until four o’clock or so. Brian called in sick at work so he can spend the day trying to figure out what’s going on in Lizzie’s dreams, and how we can put a stop to it.

Of course, we didn’t discuss last night how we keep ourselves and our children from being killed by Paul Sorrentino if we do manage to stop whatever is going on. We were both thinking it, but neither one of us wanted to say it aloud, and we both did our best to keep from scaring Lizzie about it.

But as she follows me on my morning rounds, Lizzie’s picking up on my fears. I repeatedly reassure her that everything is going to be fine, but she doesn’t believe me. Sometimes it’s very frustrating to have such a smart and perceptive child.

And while I tell Jamie what she can expect in the last few days leading up to her surgery, Lizzie tells Aimee the stirring tale of how she saved Billy Hanratty’s life.

I’ve been on my feet constantly, and I’m starting to fade a bit when Laurie finds me at one o’clock and orders me to go get some rest in the tiny room just off the workroom. There’s a cot there that all of us make use of from time to time. I’m not about to argue with that, so I take Lizzie with me and she snuggles up next to me as I try to get a half-hour’s sleep…
