Birthday Room

Shaela got a new room for her Birthday!! Before one more person asks "why did you schedule her surgery around her birthday" let me explain. She wanted to tryout for the cheer team at her junior high and if she made it, there were certain clinics/practices that she needed to be to. We had two surgery dates scheduled one for the end of April if she didn't make it and one for May 17 (two days before her Birthday) if she did make the team. Well she DID make it. So the May one was the one she took. This way she was able to attend all the clinics/practices needed before surgery and should be completely healed up by the time they start up again in late July. 

She has been very nauseous but she also hasn't eaten anything in 3 days with no nutrients going in through iv either. 

Moving out yesterday (that's a lot of tubes)

One of her favorite things is sea horses. So it was pretty cool when we saw that is what's on her name plaque

I put up some crepe paper as well as her Birthday poster made by Child Life and hung up her balloons to make her place a bit more festive and cozy

Shane, Bridget & Regan came to wish her a happy birthday and give her gifts (grandma Jolene watched the babies)

Some beautiful flowers Shaela received we got creative and made the water pitcher into a vase and then stuck them on the wall.

She had to wake up at 4:00am to go for chest X-ray and blood draws will be as soon as the iv team gets up here.

I'd like to thank everyone for the kind words, thoughts, prayers and gifts!

So many of you offered or dropped off the treats she was craving. We will see what the new day brings...

Today Shane is juggling babies, Regan has a Field Trip that she gets to take a lunch and is super excited for and Bridget will soon find out if she made the play she tried out for. I on the other hand may go home, shower and kiss my little ones while Shane sits with Shaela a bit later.
