Chloe Says, part 2

Chloe is so much more herself tonight. It makes her parents happy and relieved! Even though having all her tubes out made her feel better, she still slept a lot this afternoon and did not want to do much of anything. Finally after eating some supper, she perked up, and for a good hour this evening she was smiling and talking with her mom and dad. She was interested in hearing all the comments on the blog, and especially liked the ones from her little sister Lydia. We had to read those twice! Chloe even decided she had a few things to say on the blog.

Chloe says...

Things she likes about being in the hospital:

The beds move up and down

Her own TV right in front of her bed

Her breathing tube with the little yellow ball

Food whenever you want

Nice nurses

Sleeping

Things she does NOT like about being in the hospital:

I.V.s

Stickers on her skin

Having to get out of bed and walk around

Not being able to fall asleep

Finally eating something - chicken noodle soup

Two of her awesome nurses

Some fun gifts from aunts, uncles and cousins

With her new American Girl doll Chrissa

Enjoying a slideshow her aunt, uncle and cousin made for her

    Chloe,

    It is wonderful to see a smile on your face again. Great list of likes and dislikes. We pray that you come home tomorrow and we marvel at the improvements you have made in such a short time. God's amazing healing hands are at work during this whole chapter of your life. We are looking forward to having you back at home.

    Great pictures! I love the one where your looking up above your glasses with your hair way up high in a bun. Isn't it so funny that we always think of teachers looking that way, yet, I can't think of one teacher at HC who looks like that. :)

    I hope you enjoy all those gifts. It reminds me of when I was in the hospital in 2nd grade (appendics out). I had gifts, too, and my older sister let me borrow her paper dolls with all the clothes.

    I'll keep praying for you. (Now, I'm going back to the comments to find what Lydia wrote.)

    Hey there Chloe!
    So wonderful to hear that your tubes are out and you are doing and looking better.
    Keep hanging in there. I know the having to walk is a pain and if I remember correctly the echo after heart surgery does not feel too good either.
    Will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
    From one heart warrior to another....Keep going strong!!

    We're so happy to hear about your great progress! Your experience has reminded us to be thankful for things we can take for granted.(like our heart valves) We'll pray that you continue to improve and your family is back together again soon!
