"Cheeseburgers in Paradise"
....okay maybe not paradise!!!
The second thing she said after waking up...."cheeseburger?"
The first thing she said was "What are they still waiting for??." She didn't even realize it was all done. Needless to say, everything went smoothly. We still do not have any results, but I will be posting them as soon as we do. It was her first day at "clinic" as a patient. Everything checked out normal. They said that her eating habits were totally normal and to be glad cause in a month or so we will be begging her to eat. Her counts are even up a little. It was strange to go there though....being in the hospital was hard, but we got used to it. Then we get discharged, and go home where things seemed so back to reality. Other than her having to take medications, and eating us out of house and home it was somewhat normal around here. Then yesterday showing up there again, and checking in at the Pediatric Oncology desk is like a huge reality check! It was tough!
The hardest part of the day for Ryan, aside from being anxious, was the not being able to eat all morning long. Because she was going under anesthesia she was not able to eat or drink after midnight. As you have noticed from previous blog entries that is not an easy thing for her right now. She was getting a little cranky around 1pm when we still had not even gone back for the "procedure". So finally, she went back around 1:15, was out around 2, she was asking/eating her cheeseburger by 2:20, and we were on the road home by 3. Not too bad once the ball got rollin! Not every time we go down there will it be this way (a long drawn out process). Only on the days that she has to have a procedure done...her next one is in two weeks. Next week it will just be a medication injected into her PIC line and were outta there!
I will write again today and post the results when we hear. I wanted to get these pictures up this morning and let everyone know she is doing just fine. Thank you again for the thoughts and prayers. We knew all day that there were people everywhere thinking and praying for Ryan!
All of our Love to all!!!
