Nurse Janie is so thoughtful and generous! Today she told Trey and Evie how an elf came to her house and asked if she knew any good little girls and boys. Of course she said she knew Evie and Trey and so Santa's elf left a present under her Christmas tree for the two of them. Trey was so excited to receive his Cal Bears and I was equally excited to be given a Disney Holiday Craft book...perfect timing for the kids' school holiday parties! Thank you so much nurse Janie for the gifts and for being YOU!!! She makes our weekly visits to Oakland that much more tolerable.
Sometime during today's infusion Trey turns to Evie and asks her what she wants to be when she grows up. Evie's reply is, "a unicorn". Trey comes back with, "Oh, I’m gonna be a Navy Seal." I guess he must have thought about Evie's answer because he continues with, "No, what job do you want to be?" and again, Evie's reply is, "a unicorn!" Erin and I look at one another and just laugh. Erin then says to Trey who has a perplexed look on his face, "We’ll have to start working at that right now!" They most definitely each have a mind of their own!
At the end of Trey's infusion, he and Evie had been playing in her bed when it was time for Trey to be unhooked from his iv. Nurse Janie took Trey from Evie's bed and told Evie she could join Trey again after she de-accessed Trey's port. Evie was very upset (almost to the point of tears). Erin tried to hold Evie as she squirmed and whined, when finally she said, "BUT he ALWAYS wants me to hold his hand". Erin and I melted at her sincerity.
Immediately Erin let Evie down and in an instant Evie took Trey's hand to "help" him through pulling off the tape and the yucky needle part. How sweet was that?
Erin told Mike (Evie's daddy) and sent him this picture. His reply was, "Heck, we may as well just start planning the wedding" -haha! After seeing this picture Erin took of the two of them, Mr. Mike just may be on to something :o)
On our way our of Sky Harbor airport but who do we run into but Santa Calus himself! We hurried to let Trey sit on Santa's lap so he could tell him once again about this big truck he wants...got a cute picture and off we went down stairs to catch Lesz, our driver to take us home sweet home.
