Day one of testing started early, Georgia heard the coffee go off at 530am, opened her eyes and said (coffee) ba-ba's?
First up, blood draw, while waiting To be called back a lab worker came out, glanced at Georgia then made a frowny face... Ah, the subtle reminders that kids aren't supposed to go through this. Georgia was a rockstar with her blood draw - I kept hearing about the large volume they would take .. I walked out thinking, that wasn't so bad - we found out about an hour later that they hadn't even drawn half of what they were supposed to. Fortunately no one likes to see a little one get poked so our PA made a call to Childrens, they will draw the rest when she is sedated tomorrow.
The majority of the focus and really what counts is what we find out about Georgia on the inside, that being said it felt so good to hear all of our team comment on how great Georgia looks. She was so cooperative for the exam, was chatty and showed off some of her talents, all to get a smile.
We didn't get much information today, but I can report that her weight was up a (tiny) bit and her blood pressure was good!
Tomorrow is a big day with sedation, that part never gets easier.
Thank you for all of the thoughts and prayers - they are felt and make such a difference. Again, as you send healthy thoughts to Georgia, please keep our friend Mia in your prayers as well - she needs some healthy white cells to fight off an infection, right now she doesn't have any.
Day one - done! Good job G. All our love to Mia, she is in our prayers too.
