Why I stopped my reading routine for a while

If you've read one of my previous posts, you know that I'm practising my English reading with the prequel to the Hunger Games, named The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins. I started to read it on February the third at the pace of two pages per day. Each day, I d'input in a chart the number of read pages, the new words and other details. Then I stopped that routine. And now several months later, I'm picking it up again in addition to this writing streak here, on langcorrect. I opened again the chart with all the datas about the progression of my reading and I found out that the last day I read my daily two pages was March the 29th. Now I remember what happened. On the next day, my father died.

I remember that he was accepted in the hospital on the 26th. I arrived there the day after. My mother, my brother and I just spent our days close to him in that hospital room. He couldn't speak anymore. He barely opened his eyes when I entered the room the first time. We stayed there. And that's where I read the last pages of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

You don't need "input" here; the double "in" sounds weird (input in a chart) and you usually use the term "input" for very technical computer stuff.

In English you say "to admit someone to a hospital."
