Becca's Hospital stay

As I mentioned in my email, Becca really enjoyed her hospital stay other than the 3 procedures she had done. There were plenty of people to play with her and the nurses and doctors and respiratory therapists we dealt with were all wonderful. Many of them let her "help" with the procedures and taught her how to be a good doctor and nurse.


Yes, this fire truck is way too small for her- really intended for the toddler set, but she had a great time cruising the hallways and checking in on the other kids and babies.

Playing doctor to her new care bear. "It's ok care bear. It's only going to hurt for a minute. Stay very still! It's ok, you're doing such a good job. You're being very brave. Don't cry, I promise it will only hurt for a minute, and after that, you won't get any more needles."

Going off to the XRay in a wheelchair! So cool. ...This was the last smile for a few hours after this picture... You can click on the picture for a more closeup view of the pic line if you're interested.

This is Becca posing with just SOME of the presents she received from the hospital staff. After each of the procedures, she got a present, and each day she received presents from the Child Life staff whose job it is to entertain and play with the sick kids. Nancy brought some paper dolls that helped us pass the time for several hours during our stay. They had many adventures and of course several "fashion shows." Becca told me that the dresses in the book were very "fashionable." The beautiful flowers are from Grandmommy. Becca was so excited that she had received a bouquest of flowers "all for her!" She cut a few of the lilies off and gave them to the nurses to say thank-you.
