T-Minus

In just 13 hours we will start the admission and pre-surgery routine. Can't believe this is our lives. The first time Alivia was in the hospital my mom and I can up with a code for when we needed to have a really good cry. Then we wouldn't be worried when that person went off for a while because we knew they were having a cry and would feel so much better after. Its funny cause if anyone utters that phrase I think "wonder what they are sad about". Its a very normal statement and doesn't have a thing to do with crying...thats why its such a good code.

I am going to have the nurses look at Alivia's ears before the surgery cause she has been pulling at them. I think its teeth but just want to be sure. She had an okay day today. Yesterday she stumbled (on 2 seperate occasions) when trying to walk and hurt her foot again. So she couldn't really cruise around today and that was pretty frustrating for her. Maybe a full day off her leg will help and hey we just happen to have one of those scheduled tomorrow.

Well I need to take a shower before I go to bed so we can just get up and go tomorrow. Just one less thing to try and do. Maybe we'll get to sleep a little extra...or maybe not.

Pray..
...Alivia sleeps well
...she goes in and out of sedation easily
...the port is placed well and doesn't bother her
...drop in WBC's so she doesn't need Vincristine
...that her leg heals completely and she isn't bothered by it anymore
...that there isn't an ear infection and that her teeth don't bother her much.
...peace for us. Mercy for Alivia. Healing. A miracle.
