The Hospital Visit

3.19.2009
So, they said she was a model patient.
Of course she was...she's my little Fifi.

Matt took her for the first part of the morning and I came with Ella after Ballet and stayed with her for recovery. I have to say that seeing her still sedated was a bit hard for me as the Mommy.

Ella colored a picture for Evangeline from her coloring book while we waited for the awakening.


Soon, she began to stir.


And before we knew it she was sitting up, eating graham crackers and sipping apple juice from a straw. She watched a bit of Ni Hao Kai Lan as she continued to come to. Soon the nurses unhooked her IVs and brought in a treasure chest filled with little toys and prizes. Evangeline chose these glasses, which I am pretty sure were donated to the Children's Hospital by Elton John in the 1970's. She's rocking this look by adding the open mouth of a still slightly medicated toddler. But I'm pretty sure Elton John was slightly medicated for the entirety of the 1970's as well.


They brought a wagon for discharge, since she isn't allowed to walk around on her own until tomorrow. She glammed it up Paris Hilton style. She resembles a Real Housewife of NYC, holding divorce papers, a shopping receipt from Barneys and waiting for the limo to be brought around. Chommed I'm Sho-ah!


We won't know the results of the tests until next week, but I am just relieved this part is over.

I'm happy to hear Fifi made it thru with flying colors! And I'll be praying for you and Matt, while you wait for the results.

So glad your little angel is home. It is so hard to watch them. One of my twins went through a horrific experience and watching him lie it that bed was the worst!! Hope the tests come back with good results!!

How on earth can one blog make me laugh so hard one day that liquid shoots out of my nose and the next day make my heart hurt so badly that I tear up. I'm so glad Eva's test is over and I'm praying my most sincere and 'saved for important moments' prayers for all of you and for a good outcome.

God Bless you guys during this rough patch (but I know it'll all come out good)

xxoo

Found you through Betsy Veldman. Hope your little chick is ok - she's the image of my wee guy - red hair and all. God Bless.
