IV please.

Lauren began the day feeling great. She was handing out smiles like they were free...  It's so sweet to see her when she does this. 

This afternoon she began to feel a little cranky...and didn't eat very well, but pulled through.  She had a visitor, Keisha and Sha (thank you)!

Lauren has always been a difficult stick, so when her IV went out, I began to worry.  Five IV specialists, many sticks, and 5 hours we just got an IV.  She really needs her meds, which are behind and her fluids since she can't eat after midnight due to surgery tomorrow.  Let's pray that the IV stays and works for a while.

Someday people will point at Lauren and say, "You see that girl, now that's the embodiment of strength!"

It was really emotionally exhausting to see her go through all those sticks, knowing she has been through the same thing many many times before in her little life.  Somehow, she perseveres! 

Night all!
