Snapshots of our hospital stay so far

I didn't take any pictures on day one or two. I had the camera but couldn't bear to do it. She looked too bad and it didn't feel right to take pictures. I definitely wasn't thinking of the blog.Showing off gifts from her Texas Cousins. The only fun thing about being sick is getting spoiled. Wouldn't you agree?
Her first meal was a bit of a dissapointment. Cooked Carrots do not cheer up sick five year olds. I ate them. They were terrible but I needed the nourishment.
This is a special shower cap that washes and rinses. After microwaving the bag you sit it on your head for about 10 minutes, That it's! Awesome! Too bad it doesn't detangle too. Luckily we had plenty of time!

I guess I wanted to document how tired I was at this point.

Grandma arrives with markers and is the best medicine ever for our sicky.

This shows you what Caroline calls her "Cast" and her "blue button". She guards that blue button like a mother hen and is always smoothing the cords, and yelling at me to be careful so they don't get "fwisted" when we get on her camping toilet. She was a little unsure of the peeing right in your bed idea, but then they told her that it was just like camping. She said, "Yeah, one time my dad had me go in a bucket"
I am sure my brother Jeremy will enjoy the bucket reference. We are kind of famous for our bucket use.

Dad still insists on brushing. Even in the PICU.

Talking to her sisters and telling them everything that they are missing out on.
"Did you know that I have a cast?"

This was taken in the early days of her sickness at home. She was sick of being away in her room but hated the light shining on her and the noise. I think I maybe was a little too heavy on the bundling up. I hope she wasn't running a fever at this point.
