Oh my goodness how I have missed my little bald kiddos. I haven't worked in so long and I was actually really happy to put my scrubs back on today and see all those adorable faces. A lot of times if you are gone for 3 days you come back to a whole different set of patients, but on our floor, most of them stay for so long that you can almost count on them being there for a stretch of time. So, I was able to get there today and see my cute little Alden and she was in a great mood!! She hasn't been running around and wanting to be an 11 year old pretty much since she got diagnosed, but today she was out with her friends playing in the play room...that was so much fun to see. Plus, she is finally used to her bald head so she wasn't even wearing her hat today. She has the cutest face so she looks amazing bald - even though she doesn't believe us when we say that and she hates it. I have really grown to love her family and their faith and just how close they are and how dedicated to their daughters they are. They are fun to be around and they are so grateful and humble...it makes me stop and remember how lucky I am on a daily basis. I also got to see little miss Sara today, my 3 year old cheerleader, but she was feeling terrible so she was just wandering the halls in her Beauty and the Beast nightgown looking miserable. I feel so bad for them when they are having rough days...it is so hard to watch. I am hoping that she kicks this fever and is back to her perky self tomorrow.
I went to Ft. Worth last night to meet up with my friend Adam from college and then to see Lindsay. I had to babysit beforehand so I didn't get on the road until almost 4 which was a little later than I had planned on, but that was okay until I got stuck in traffic for so long!! It was so frustrating!! Once I got moving, the drive went really quickly, but the first hour was so hot and miserable. So Lindsay and Allison and I went to dinner and met up with Adam and his girlfriend...we had a great dinner and then walked across the street to a sports bar and sat outside and chatted and watch the Celtics just completely outplay the Lakers. That was such a crazy game...it was like the Lakers weren't even playing last night. I thought that Boston would win, but I didn't think that it would be that big of a blowout. Then we called it a night relatively early and I went back to Lindsay's and was able to sleep on my pillow for the first time in 3 weeks!! I was so happy to get my pillow back...tonight is going to be great. Yea!! Got up this morning and drove back with enough time to get a little nap in and relax before work.
I have to work the rest of the week, but I don't really mind because I need the money and I need to keep busy and get off my couch!! Hahaha. I am supposed to be going tomorrow morning to take pictures of the inside of me and Keaton's new house and I am really excited!! I want to be able to show everyone how cute and great it is inside. Then Alyssa and I have plans to go lay out at Deep Eddy - apparently it is some natural springs pool that is big in Austin...it will obviously be my first time, I am sure I will take a picture. Hahahahahaha. I am excited about laying in the sun and relaxing and getting my tan on a little bit. It is much overdue.
Other than that, not a whole lot going on...trying to save money, trying to avoid the heat and really excited about sleeping on my pillow tonight!!
I am wearing my 'praying for Alden' bracelet and it reminds me to pray for her and all my kids battling cancer every time I see it on my wrist. What a great idea and what a great reminder...
