If yesterday were to be considered a terrible, horrible, no good day….then today could be considered GLORIOUS!<\/p>\n

It started off a bit rough, but by 10 or 11am it had picked up and now we are getting ready to settle down for the night.<\/p>\n

Geli felt quite nauseous this morning and had a fair amount of pain. She got her morning meds and while we waited for her body to settle out she sat in the rocking chair in her room. She said that it was more comfortable than feeling slouched on bed.<\/p>\n

She read through a whole ton of comments from you all on my Blackberry……<\/p>\n

\"Reading<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

And in the middle of that got a call from one of her closest friends at school….<\/p>\n

\"On<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

She was still feeling pretty icky at this point, but chatting with a friend definitely made her day a bit better.<\/p>\n

Her other closest friend called her not too long after and that was pretty awesome, as well.<\/p>\n

Aunty Debbie and Jack and Nana Karen and Siah showed up right round 10:30am – 11am and it was so nice to see them. <\/p>\n

\"Aunty<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Snuggles with Jack can make anyone feel better.<\/p>\n

\"Wazzup?\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

She also played some card games with Nana Karen while mommy and daddy spent a little bit of time with Siah.<\/p>\n

\"Card<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Soon after, we headed down to the playroom and then her cousins showed up. We got to play some air hockey and that was so much fun. Lots of laughter and smiles and teasing….<\/p>\n

\"Air<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

And then Uncle Eddy showed up with presents. It was so nice to see him.<\/p>\n

\"Uncle<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Siah found some dress up clothes and dressed up like a princess. Momma looks like a blimp.<\/p>\n

\"Siah<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Before everyone took off, we had some snuggles with Baby Zacharias. Baby snuggles are the best EVER! But he wasn’t really that upset….this is just a cranky looking picture.<\/p>\n

\"Cuddles<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Angelica got to take a shower today and change into her very own clothes and that was SOOOOOOOO NICE. To be able to get all nice and clean and she even got her bed changed out. There is nothing like being all clean and sliding into clean sheets….mmmmmmmm!<\/p>\n

\"After<\/a><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

We’ve just been watching a movie and eating dinner in bed and relaxing after a busy but fun day. This is the best day that Angelica has had in over a week and a half. No fever! Smiles! Color in her face! An appetite! Presents! Family and Friends! Air Hockey!<\/p>\n

It was awesome.<\/p>\n

It was so nice to have an almost seemingly normal day in the middle of all this craziness.<\/p>\n

She is still a little bit sore from the surgery, but it’s only been almost 48 hours since her surgery and so really a little bit of pain is not bad.<\/p>\n

We’re feeling pretty good about things and are just taking things one day at a time. We’ve talked about good times and bad times and about how life come with good and bad times and how we don’t get to choose to only have good times, but that when a bad time comes you can just ride it out the best that you can and if you have a terrible, no good horrible bad day, then you cry and wait it out and if you have a good day, then just enjoy it for what it is…..This is life. This is our new normal! This is our reality! And we’re gonna be okay. All of us!<\/p>\n

I might come back and post about how tomorrow sucks or about how it’s amazing too. We’re just real people with real issues and real emotions and we’re just gonna take all of this one step at a time.<\/p>\n

If you’d like, we’d love if you could pray that Geli wouldn’t feel sick and nauseated tomorrow morning and that she’d have a great night of sleep and that the VAD site would heal up quickly. Also, that all her blood counts would do what they are supposed to do. Some need to go up and some need to go down. <\/p>\n

Again, we feel so cared for and loved. You are an amazing community of people and we THANK YOU with everything in us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
