Mia's 55th Blood Transfusion

Here we are at yet another transfusion...# 55. After stopping by starbucks to get our usual, we headed straight to POTC. Of course Mia did amazing at getting her IV...and some special visitors came too.

Her BIG sisters. No Maddy today, she stayed at home with dad. The girls wanted to show the nurses their cheer dance...

...oh wait don't drop Mia!

Ok so maybe with a little more practice...and when Mia doesn't have her IV in it will look better next time.

Mia picked a craft to do with her sisters so they could have something to do.

This was the perfect day to bring the big sisters along, there were tons of fun crafts for them to do (thank you Miss Christine!)...which they did during the whole day.

They also did surgery on Mia's little bear...

...then it was Ashley's turn to get an IV and Mia knew just what to do...

The girls helped Mia decorate a purse...which Mia said...is exactly 'my style.'

Time to go to lunch...this was the first time Mia went with me to get some lunch. Usually she waits in her room, but today the nurse let us go down stairs...

...until the machine started beeping because I bumped it! Of course we were in line waiting to pay so we hurried back.

Mia sat with the nurses for lunch...then they all watched a movie.

The last thing they did before we left was paint their nails...with help of Miss Sierena. I'm so glad that Ashley and Alyssa got to see what Mia goes through, and they can imagine her now each time she goes to the hospital and picture where she is and what she's doing. Sisters are so special!
