here are some pictures from the last couple days:
our good friend shari reading melanie a cinderella book!
managing a half-smile with her new iv
this is the big smile i got when i told her she had 101 guestbook enteries (she is very swollen with fluid)
"dealing"
before being moved to the picu
tyelnol/motrin are put in the small tube on the left of this picture (her jtube which goes into her intestine) the h1n1 virus has caused everything to go backwards, so you can see the pink tylenol had backed all the way up to her stomach and is now coming out the bigger tube on the right (her gtube which goes into her stomach). the far right tubes are iv lines. this is at home before we went to the ER.
