Oh my, this sweet girl...she had a rough morning. The first poke in her hand didn't work, so then we went to the antecubtial area of her arm, the IV was working fine but then she moved it and it was just at a funny angle...so then we stopped the blood flow and gave her a different IV in her hand we were trying to give it break from! Ugh, oh well.
After her hand IV she felt a lot better.
Mia is so thankful for people who take the time to donate blood, or she wouldn't be here.
Did we mention that she loves Taylor Swift?? Taylor's concert is coming next month August 17th and 18th and we are trying to get a meet and greet!! There has to be somebody who knows some way we could get Mia and her sisters to meet her even for 30 seconds. Never give up hope!
There will be a birthday blood drive on Mia's actual birthday September 19, 2015 in Tempe...there will also be a Septepmber Champ 5K walk/run for all the Arizona Children Cancer Charities...so come out and donate blood AND do BE THE MATCH!!!
Sigh.
Thanks for sharing your life blood donor.
Mia had a very special visit from Sharon, she works for United Blood Services and is very dear to our hearts.
She brought Mia a very special gift.
Perfect for the hospital or to work on at home...hopefully her sisters won't steal it!!
Mia sure perks up when there's bacon...bacon in grilled cheese, oh yummers!
#CoachMia says thank you to anyone who has done a cheek swab to see if they are a potential bone marrow match to her or someone like her! CLICK HERE for more info!
