Living in a hospital is such an odd experience, you are here because you are sick, one thing that everyone knows a sick person needs is rest but that is the one thing that we can't seem to get. Georgia has her vitals checked every four hours (assuming all is well) round the clock, then they check her IV every two hours.. needless to say that the vitals taken at midnight and four in the morning wake her up and the visits in between wake me up too.

I thought I would give you a glimpse of how our days start, the team comes in and the resident starts by saying "this is Georgia Handsaker, our 10 month old female ... presenting symptoms of both JMML and AML, ... today's plan is... All of this while I am sitting in my pj's!

Grandpa was here for the meeting today and took this pic

I'm mean really guys I know I'm cool and all but this is a little much!

Georgia's surgery went well today, she had her catheter placed in her chest and an ultrasound on her heart - they kind of chemo they are proposing can be damaging to the heart so they want to know where they are starting from. After surgery she was wheeled in a crib back to our room.. I was happy that she wasn't upset but heartbroken that she might be getting use to all of this. I scooped her up and held her in my arms until she fell asleep then cried.. this is all so much to take in and we aren't even at the starting line yet. I am terrified for what's to come. Tomorrow is our "treatment plan meeting" or as I like to call it our Georgia Cure Plan meeting.. grandparents, one of her aunts, and her pediatrician will all be there.
