Thank You!

Thank you all for the continued support! Bella had a great day. There were a few painful moments but she did great. She is so strong with all the pokes, tugs, pulls of her tubes and needles everywhere. She had a line going to one of her arteries that was taken out today. So painful. The nurse pressed on her poor little hand for 5 full minutes with such pressure. Bella cried and cried. It was so devastating to watch. When I confronted the nurse, she said it was completely necessary because it was on an artery and not a vein. Poor little lamb. She got through it though. Bella got to see N.P: Jody-her favorite! She had visits from Dr. Loudon and N.P: Albert. We also were so lucky to see our Chinese medicine doctor-Ruth! We always look forward to these visits of wonderful acupressure and aroma therapy! Bella got a therapy dog visit too-miss Berkely! She is resting comfortably. If all goes well, Bella gets her train taken out of her head tomorrow. Also, if all goes well, we will be moving back down to 3rd floor oncology but to the Oncology ICU. We both fell asleep around 7:30 or 8 tonight. That of course means that we woke up around 10:30 for some snacks and a few rounds of tic-tac-toe. Bella feels around a bit more now. Are tic tac toe game is not using a pencil, it's an actual pegged game. Bella would feel the holes to find the slot she wanted to put her peg into and then bring it super close to her eye to make sure she got the right spot with her colored pegs. It's sleepy time! God is great, all the time! ;). NEGUing from PICU at CHOC!


P.S. I can't believe I forgot the most important thing that happened today! Bella had a very special visitor today! She got to see R2D2! This is the second time she got to visit with him! So special!
