Room 7413

 A day in the hospital ...
Nicole checked into her private room this moring at 530am
(oh the ..... Pediatric ward, stuffed animal waiting on her bed and a visit from santa claus too!)



doesn't she looked excited ....

refused to get in the bed .,... she said no that's ok ..

The ride from her room down the halls through the different areas and onto 2 elevators to the operating room, according to a teenage girl .. that is the most embarassing awkward thing EVER!!!

they let me sit with her in the pre-op and next to her when the anestitialogist got her all set ..
I thought she looked so cute all ready for surgery including the adorable hat.
she on the other hand did not find my picture taking right before I left her for surgery, very polite

two pokes and lots of blood ... finally got her IV started .. I guess cold teenager does not equal good veins

she was so cute and she came out of her haze

Santa stopped by the peds ward and left her the only sort of age appropriate thnig in his bag "monkey slippers"


Can you imagine .. she couldn't wait to get that hospital gown off

home we go !!!!

Today, Nicole was a trooper !!! A lot of nurses (all so so sweet), a room, two doctors, 2 gurney rides, an
Endoscopy, 10 biopsy sites, an IV, medication, according to the Dr. a very red and irritated stomach ...
Our 7 hours in the hospital are over and now we wait ...
wait for results, wait for answers and a plan!!!
But the good thing is a plan to make her feel better is coming soon!!!
Keep you posted...
