Thank you so much for praying for this little angel and her family. There is definitely something to be said for the power of prayer and Faith. Please continue your prayers as they go through this time.
Nina is home!!!
Nina was discharged from the hospital at 8:00pm. The girls are sleeping together tonight in Lindsey's bed. It is so good to be home!
The testing began today. Nina was awakened this morning by a man from the transportation team. He was there to take her downstairs for her bone scan. She had to be sedated for this one. I was told that they were going to take pictures of every bone in her body. This took nearly two hours. Nina slept the rest of the day.
At 4:30, she was suppose to start drinking these contrasting fluids for her CT scans. She had to drink 4oz every 45 minutes. Then the scans were to begin at 6:30 this evening. She was so conked out from the earlier sedation, that it was a fight to get her to drink the liquid, but we managed. The evening scans were quick, and Nina was finally allowed to eat real food. She had mac and cheese, sweet corn, and french fries. She went to town!
We have to be back at the hospital on Thursday for a meeting with the Oncologist. Hopefully we won't hear anything before then. No news is good news. Then, next Tuesday she will have the test that involves nuclear medicine. We are so glad that we are doing all this outpatient. Did we mention how great it is to be home?
We treasure the emails that you all have sent. I think I am going to print them out and save them for Nina to read some day. It is neat to hear from some of you that we haven't seen in years. Again, they are all treasures. Thank you so much for your continued support and prayer. Nina is thriving, and your prayers have helped in this.
We have attached some pictures from Nina's stay at the hospital.
Love, Mike & Tonia
