2 cute pictures

I wanted to put two cute pictures from yesterday at the hospital. A little story I forgot to tell was about benadryl. Sometimes they give it to kids before a transfusion so they won't have any reaction to it. I couldn't remember if she had it the last time so I said we'll just give it to her (and it makes you sleepy which would have been nice). Well she hated it. Usually she is so good with taking meds but she was tired and out of sorts and benadryl tastes so gross. So after crying and spitting for a bit she put her fingers in her mouth and gagged herself. Out came every last drop of the meds. Oh well. We decided to go without it. And everything was fine. These are the pictures of us at the cafeteria, Livi is sporting her hospital issue gown (since she threw up on her clothes) and her new favorite hat that Grandpa bought for her (thanks Dad!). She is pointing at a giant grasshopper that was on the outside of the cafeteria window. Cute, huh?!


We had a nice morning with my parents today. Mom got her hair cut by Darcy (she looks great) and now we are all home and everyone is in bed. I think I'm heading that way too. Last night was really hard (by hard I mean she was up at least once an hour) again and with no nap yesterday it made for a long long long night. She is napping now and I'm hopeful that it will be a good nap (she's been so tired all day). No fevers so far today and that is amazingly good. We haven't given her tylenol since about 1 am.

My dad is heading home tomorrow (we will miss him terribly) but we get to keep my mom/ Gigi till Sunday. YEAH!! Hopefully we'll have a relaxing, doctor-free few days.
