Ida does, too, do scalp IV's. So does Mary.


My turn in the hospital with Mallorie; she began vomiting this morning just before her follow-up appt with Dr. B, and her last labwork didn't look good enough to send her home with. So we have a beautiful scalp IV in place, and fluids going in that way, and through the wonderful g-tube. I am so grateful for good nurses who don't give up, and for the pauses for prayer prior to attempting a "stick," and the praises to God for surprise successes. And for good friends who stop by to check on us (thanks, Pam). And for great medical care.

My follow-up is Wednesday, so I hope Mallorie is discharged by then. And Dr. B's surgery will be Wednesday, too.

There is so much going on for everyone right now! I hope that Mallorie gets to go home soon, and I hope you and Dr. B go smoothly.

Oh, my goodness, when it rains it pours. I was wondering why you'd been so silent lately. Hoping you are feeling okay, and Mal feels better soon. Praying for Dr. B also.

I will be praying for all of you Connie. Her pink and green pillow or blankie looks soooo soft. I am so glad God sends great nurses your way. I need to email you girl. I love you guys.

Her sweet little face is changing so much. She is growing up, something we were told she would never do. Thank you sweet Jesus!
