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!
