DAY +13

ALICIA'S MORNING STARTED OFF THE SAME AS THE LAST THREE. I THOUGHT THOUGH IF I WAS TO WORK WITH HER A LITTLE AND TRY SLOWING TO HAVING HER SIT UP AND PLAY A LITTLE THAT MIGHT HELP HER TO START FEELING A LITTLE BETTER. i GAVE HER A SPONGE BATH AND CHANGED HER CLOTHES AND BEDDINGS BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK TO WELL SHE STILL WANTED TO LAY DOWN SO I THOUGH OK LETS MOVE TO PLAN B.......... I CAN TRY TO BRIBE HER........... THEN I THOUGHT WHAT WOULD WORK......... THEO WAS COMING..........THAT WAS IT. I KNEW THAT IF I TOLD ALICIA THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO GET UP AND PLAY WITH THEO IF HE CAME THAT THEO JUST MIGHT BE THE TRICK, AND I WAS RIGHT.

JESSE BROUGHT THEO AS PROMISED AROUN 2PM AND ALICIA WAS SO HAPPY. I HAD HER CLOSE HER EYES AND JESSE SNUCK IN WITH THEO AND WHEN SHE OPENED HER EYES SHE SMILED SO BIG!!!!!! SHE WAS SOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!

THIS IS JESSE SURPRISING ALICIA WITH THEO

ALICIA TALKS AND ASKS FOR THEO ALL THE TIME. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT THIS PUPPET BUT IT WORKED. SHE SAT UP FOR ALMOST 45 MINUTES AND PLAYED WITH JESSE AND THEO.




LOOK SHE IS UP!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS MORNING SHE SEEMS TO BE FEELIN A LITTLE BETTER. HER COUNTS CAME BAC AND HER ANC IS BACK AT 0.0 BUT ALL THE DOCTORS AND NURSES ARE TELLING ME THAT IS NORMAL. HER WBC IS STILL AT .2, PLATELETS DOWN TO 33,000 AND HBG IS AT 8.2. THERE WAS ONE CONCERN THAT THE DOCTORS HAVE AND THAT IS WITH HER PHOSPHATE LEVEL, WHICH THEY TOLD ME WAS ONE OF HER ELECTROLYTES. THEY ARE GIVING HER EXTRA DOSES TODAY IN HOPES IT GOES UP.

I ALOS HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS. WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING THERE WAS A PATIENT ATTENDANT HERE AND SAID SHE WOULD BE SITTING WITH ALICIA UNTIL THREE THIS AFTERNOON. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN WASH CLOTHES AND MAYBE TAKE A SHORT VERY MUCH NEEDED NAP. ALICIA SEEMS TO LIKE HER SO I HOPE SHE DOES NOT GIVE HER TO MANY PROBLEMS. I WILL BE COMING AND GOING ALOT, THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD BE ABLE TO STAY GONE THAT LONG BUT I CAN GET ALOT DONE TODAY KNOWING SOMEONE WILL BE WITH HER ALL THE TIME.

PLEASE KEEP CHARISSE IN YOUR PRAYERS. SHE IS A FRIEND I MET A T CAMP A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. SHE HAS FA ALSO AND IS FACED WITH SOME CHALLANGES IN HER LIFE AT THIS TIME AND COULD USE SOME EXTRA PRAYERS.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR CHECKING UP ON ALICIA
