The girl had a great day! After a little headache in the morning, we hardly needed any pain meds. By late afternoon her IV was gone! The girl never saw her roommate, but felt like they were friends. (I should mention that her roommate was less than a year old and was asleep most of the day.) The girl sang to her for about an hour through the curtain, colored her a picture, and invited her over for a play date. When we found out that we each had to move to new (different) rooms, the girl sobbed for about 30 minutes…she has hardly cried this whole week, and it was saying goodbye that brought on the tears, not a needle! The girl’s new friend gave her this really awesome toy

Daddy came after work and took the girl on another wagon ride. This evening the surgeon visited and we got the great news that tomorrow the girl gets to sit up….and drumroll please…go home!!!! I hope that he doesn’t change his mind!
