DAY 11 - MORNING

Well, we are a little behind schedule, and looking a little ragged, but we have now resumed normal programming. :-)

YEA!!!!   CLAP!!!!  CHEER!!!!!

Valerie woke up more determined today.  She ate 2 pieces of french toast, took all 7 of the morning white pills (no idea why there were 7 today and 6 yesterday - but she took them all), and is now about to start her daily regimen of 5 IVs.  

We have a game plan all mapped out to keep her distracted and involved in other things:  walk (or ride in a wheelchair) to the beach, draw, play games, watch tv, read (or have me read to her), etc.

As you can see from the pictures, the drawing has begun. :)  It's a good day.

It's Dana Hollaus from Hillview. Catching up and reading every last word of your blogging. And had to comment on this day for sure as the pic of the two of you smiling is incredible and left me teary eyed. Love to you both!
