We are waiting

Latest Update:
Regina will be admitted tonight. 4th floor is still full. She will start her chemo on ICU( third floor) and if there is opening of 4th floor we will be moved up there. :) Yes, I am very exited about it.

Labs from today look great. There were some highs and lows but the most important ones are good. Ken ( nurse practitioner) told us that they are working on getting Regina room. SO we are waiting that to happen :)
Today we had some fud moments in the hospital. Magician Nick was giving kids magic show. Regina had fun watching and figuring out how did he do it, then NWE capten and pilots were in the hospital taking pictures with kids and handling out things for children.

Yesterday santas Elves where in the hospital taking pictures with kids. It is busy here during this time of year.

now everybody lets wait

CAROL!!! Thank you for the newspapers ;) Kids had fun opening things. I did not let them open all the things. I placed Gabriels and and 2 Reginas presents under the tree and we wait until Christmas. If we are inpatients during that time, I just take all the gifts and we open them in the hospital :)

Regina wants to go to the craft store so now we are going to Michaels :)

Praying and hoping that those little kids on the fourth floor get BETTER SOON so Regina gets her room.

Soon, soon.

Tell Ken when you see him that Steven and his mom say hi and that we hope he's soaring with the eagles, we're still flying with the owls unfortunately, especially this time of year. You can also ask him if he needs me to represent him on his taxes this year.

Waiting for good news about Regina's room.

Yes, you're way too nice. One day you'll learn.

A little nastiness goes a long way, just ask Ken :-)

Hopefully you're already in the hospital. An interesting tidbit, about a year before Steven began chemo, they used to do the first day of chemo for all the SJMB96 patients on the third floor because of the sudden and dramatic blood pressure drop that some patients get witn amifostine.

I met a boy who had to stop the amifostine because of blood pressure problems. So you'll be doing it in ICU where everyone used to do it.

Godspeed to Regina tomorrow, let's get this last cycle over with.

Glad that Regina is doing well and hope this last chemo session goes quickly and uneventfully. I'm glad the box arrived, although I wanted it to come NEXT week, closer to Christmas. (However, dealing with the people in the UPS store was ridiculous. They have no idea what they are talking about.) The newspaper seemed the easiest and cheapest way to stuff the box! Thank you for the lovely card--tell both Regina and Gabriel they are adorable!! (Actually, so are you and Nick!)
Love,
Carol :-)
