2nd fill up and something special


This weeks fill up went the best yet. Despite our 2 hour wait for Sally to get out of surgery, Phoebe (and I) played and ran around the Out Patients rooms and corridors. Phoebe grizzled during the fill up but no tears fell. I wondered if previously I have been holding her too tightly and half her displeasure was at being restrained. So I held Phoebe's arms, firmly not tightly. Phoebe stopped crying before they even removed the needle from the port. As most will know restraining any child, regarldess of reason, they do not like it and will more often than not, buck and kick to be released. Perhaps we have been making matters much worse by restraining Phoebe so tightly she is already put in panic mode. Who knows. 10mls went in and 2 minutes later we were running out the door and Phoebe was doing her usual "Bye!" to everyone and anyone.
Phoebe turned 2 today. Our gorgeous, precious, extra special little darling has been lighting up our lives for 2 years. Wow. Here she is on her new Trike.
