Thankful for the Uneventful

We had an uneventful weekend at the hospital. And for that, we are thankful! The highlight had to be the visits from Libby’s cousins.  Hadley and Walker visited us no less than three times in two days. We wouldn’t have it any other way. Mind you, when we’re home we see each other nearly everyday. You can imagine what an adjustment this hospital stay has been for Libby in this regard. Thank goodness for Facetime. When the phone rings Libby gets her wide eyes, a big smile, and shrieks with delight. If I miss Hadley’s call (or five calls, rather) I’ll get a text from her shortly after that reads ginnyfactimenow. You’ve got to love a five-year-old who knows how to text, but doesn’t know how to use space between her words. Hadley and Walker are, without a doubt, one of Libby’s greatest blessings.

The doctors continue to assure us that Libby looks fantastic.  Her blood counts will continue to drop and then they should begin to recover.  Her treatment this Thursday should be nothing compared to the last two Thursdays. In the meantime, she is ever the trooper. She most likely doesn't feel well.  She’s not 100% herself. But she sure doesn’t do much complaining. 

True to form, Libby is somewhat of a celebrity in the hospital. We’ve been warned several times that it’s very likely she could get stolen in the middle of the night by any one of the staff. The nurses tell us it’s a race to the board everyday to try and sign up for Libby. It never ceases to amaze me, the response this little girl can elicit. The way she brightens everyone’s day with the incessant kisses she blows without bias. No matter what.

Have a wonderful Fourth of July holiday!
