may not seem like much, but I'm thrilled. Lina got the dressing on her back changed today,and the drain in her leg comes out, so they say, later today. Hopefully, we wil leave tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath. Then we will stay at the Fitzpatrick until further notice. Lina has Nitro put on her head twice a day to hopefully open the blood flow to the portion of the flap that is discolored. She has IV antibiotics 3x's perday, IV steriod, Zantec, and two additional meds 2x's per day by mouth. She has taken everything without complaint, however, she doesn't like when the doctors come in the room. I don't really care for weekends in the hospital, but there were a few highlights, Gina-thank you for taking such great care of my girl. Helen, I love how you make me laugh!
I think she is remembering her past a little bit. She told me her curtain was on fire. She has also asked if her "Mommy" was with her. She said she didn't like her. I told her I did and that I was thankful she had her, so that she would come to us, because we love her and want the best for her. She just smiled and said she feels loved. That is a first for Lina!! I know that God has so many lessons for all that know her, additionally, I believe she is learning also. It is my prayer that Lina will understand how much she is loved!

Peggy I'm drinking some coffee right now, can't wait to do it with you at the diningroom table. Leah I love hearing your voice and the wonderful distraction of Shapes.
