I was driving, and I’m not talented enough to video tape at the same time.
It’s been a tradition with the nurse that we had the very first night on 8B to race wagons. And last night Jesse was more into it than ever. She kept telling me to go and would throw herself forward to make me go faster.
Afterwords we played hide in seek. I hid behind a nurse and completely messed her up. I might have done better if I hadn’t been laughing so hard.
She dance and sang for our next door neighbor, a little girl with spina bifida and just diagnosed with rhabydsacroma. ( I am totally misspelling that). The little girl sang and danced too 🙂
She saw a little baby in another room, and stood in her door waving to her. I think she really wanted the play mat and toys because before she saw the baby she exclaimed, “My mat!”
Around 11pm, my little party animal fell asleep. I figured we’d be up until 3 am since she had a blood transfusion. She is still sleeping now.
Funny story on her:
There is a nurse here with many freckles. And with the innocence of a child Jesse asked her why she had all those boos boos on her face. I was mortified, but the nurse handled it well. Telling her they were angels’ kisses.
Christine, her big sister, is doing well. She has a hard time when we come in asking when we’ll be a family again. But she has had a blast spending time with her Richmond uncle and aunt. And Maggie is having fun too 🙂
Mike came down last night to see us and bring dinner. He’s lonely at the house by himself.
I learned this morning that Todd isn’t here anymore. He is one of the male nurses. Just when Jesse misses home and her daddy the most, we get to have one of them. Last night we had the only one left, which was a huge blessing!
Good luck Todd in your new job! Thank you for helping take care of Jesse. You will be missed.
Thank you to all of Jesse’s nurses. We’ve been very blessed to be in their good hands 🙂
