I couldn't help Mia with her I.V. start today because of my finger...so she was extra brave and did it 'by herself.' Sometimes it hurts, but that's ok as long as we hold still. Miss Christine did a fabulous job as usual...we love her!
Fancy Nancy
Since my finger was still hurting so badly, Miss Nancy aka Fancy Nancy did my hair for me! Um, do you have any make-up too? How about a massage and a pedicure while you're at it?!
Mia the fashion designer... even in the hospital.
Doing crafts...
The movies of the day included High School Musical 3, Horton Hears a Who, & Superman 2 - Mia said, 'Mom! Dad's on t.v.!' She has always thought that way of her dad.
A special friend...
Little Maddy who also has Diamond Blackfan Anemia like Mia, was there getting a transfusion too! How funny that we were there at the same time. All Mia wanted to do was to go over and play with her...don't forget your I.V. pull!!!
Matching I.V.'s - how cute!
I really like it when Mia gets her actual blood type - A+.
This was something new today...they started Mia on desferral...to help get the extra iron out of the body. It took 4 hours after the 3 hour blood transfusion which made for a long day. But Mia did great! All in all, it was a good day, and if you were wondering where Madison was, she was at my mom's house...thank goodness!
