Heading into clinic today. When Anna checked out of the hospital on Tuesday we were so excited by the possibility of not returning to Children's until the following Tuesday. Elated!
Today we are headed in for a non-scheduled scheduled bone marrow biopsy. No school today or tomorrow so Ella gets to head in with us. I wrote a list and had her pack her own bag, we shall see how she entertains herself.
So funny - like interesting funny, not haha funny, Sam has missed the last two biopsies. Not because they aren't important, obviously they are, but there is only so much of us to go around. The biopsies, while they determine the course of Anna's treatment, are actually one of the easier procedures she undergoes. We aren't terribly keen on all the anesthesia or the fact that she is having her marrow syringed out, but the time under and the recovery is very simple and pretty painless for her - until we remove the band-aid, then it is sheer torture and screams as if we are removing her toenails with spoons. :D So we pick and choose what is important enough for both of us to be there for and what one of us can handle alone. We would both love to be around for everything, that just isn't possible. I, we, seriously, can't juggle that many balls, lots of them get dropped, in the snap of a finger.
Good Lucks and Prayers and Fingers Crossed. This has been one heck of a whirlwind crazy week and it is only Thursday! :)
