I almost totally forgot about Lilees first official visitor. She had said before her surgery she was excited for her cousin Nora to come visit her in the hospital. Well today she came. At first she was grumpy and not real interested. Nora had brought her a little gift that they could both play with and they did but it wasn't until they went on a wagon ride that Lilee showed everyone she was happy.
We basically duplicated the wagon setup from our trip from the PICU to the Peds floor. Oxygen bottle covered with pillows, and room for two - perfect! They roamed the halls looking at the wall art, and the paper mache animals. She can not leave the third floor yet because she still has the wireless telemetry (her ropes) on and they only work on this floor.
Aunt Sherilyn did the pulling and even went down some little inclines fast which they kids really enjoyed.
The distraction the visit offered was welcome. What would you rather do - sit alone with Mom and Dad in a room all by yourself or walk the halls with your cousin, Aunt, and Mom. I might add as well that Sherilyn brought some fancy treats from PIX Patisserie (www.pixpatisserie.com) just down the street from the hospital. You should check it out and if given a chance stop by for some very delicious treats.
