A day at Geisinger...

I can't begin to tell you how happy I am to be posting this message! After a very long day at the hospital, Francesca finally "passed" all that she needed to and is quietly sleeping in her bed. Our day started at 5:30 this morning! And for being up since than with no nap...she was a trooper! Between the xrays, the doctors, the nurses, the feeding tube, the medicine, not being able to eat or drink, and using the potty (yes...they made her go on the potty today), my daughter totally surprised me! I thought for sure she was going to give us a hard time, but she was 100% perfect! The only time she really got upset was when they couldn't get the feeding tube in on the first try (for a 2 minute job, it took about them about 15 minutes...they tried to get it in through the right side of her nose, but her opening was too small...so they had to take it out & redo it from the left). I will post more over the weekend on her status & the events of today (she still has some liquid left inside that must be passed). But before I sign off for today, there is still one more thing I must do...I want to send out a HUGE...THANK YOU to everyone who was praying for & supporting Francesca today! We couldn't of had made it without all of you...
