A Beautiful Mural!

Today was a hard day but it ended on a good note! I got a sneek peek of the beautiful mural Rik made for one of our special children. It is amazing what Rik can do with paint! He has generously donated his time and services to transform a room into a safari retreat! We will be sharing before and after pictures once the room is finished but we are very grateful for this gift! Check out Murals Fantastic if you are looking to create a magical room for your child.

Cecily is still in the hospital and she is struggling.  She is whimpering and crying and it kills me not to be able to scoop her up and make her feel better.  We are hoping this is just post-procedure adjustment but as the hours pass our hope starts to fade a little more.  If love was a cure she would be happy and smiling around the clock.

On a positive note we had a lovely nurse helping us today.  I think nurses are the best! They are always caring, patient and supportive. They listen to Moms like me and they convey our needs to the doctors.  As Rady's celebrates Nurse Appreciation Week I would like to thank all of the lovely nurses that have taken care of Cecily.  We love them all - but our favorites are Stacy S., Katie and Patty.  These super nurses always go above and beyond!

It is getting late and it is time to do my "day job" to catch up on the hours I missed in the office.  Onwards and upwards!
