We took along plenty of books and her Webkinz but what did she play with most?..... straws, yes simple straws. She especially liked the flexible straws from the hospital! She chewed them, she used them as drum sticks or she just simply waved them in the air. They were very entertaining!
Doesn't she look so big sitting there! One nurse came in and said "how old is she about 4?" I laughed and said no 2 1/2. She said "she looks so long!" Well she is long, they had just measured her and she was exactly 3 feet. Most of that is leg!
Notice the expression on her face in the top photo? That's pretty much the same expression she had on her face for the 4 days we were there! She smiled and laughed as soon as we got on the elevator! NO KIDDING!
3 nights in the hospital was enough for me! I heard a mom say her daughter was in there for scoliosis and had her first surgery, but would be in hospital for 8 WEEKS! and have multiple surgeries!
Also there were 8 rooms in the department we were in and we live about 1 1/2 hours from the hospital, there were families there from Rochester NY, Illinois and North Carolina! I don't look forward to the 1 1/2 hour drive but the mom from Illinois had to drive 6 hours, just her and her son!
There was a little girl in there who looked to be of east Indian (from India) descent or in that region somewhere, anyway, she had beautiful thick, wavy black hair and after her electrodes were on they pulled her remaining hair into a pony tail. I kid you not! That pony tail was at least 3 inches thick! That child had the thickest hair I've ever seen on a kid! I'm just glad I'm not that mom picking glue out of that hair!
I hope the best for all the little ones there!
