Infusion #4 Update

Thank you to all who have been emailing & private messaging me to see how I am.  I really appreciate the friends that I have made on here!  I am sorry that I haven't updated you on my Tysabri infusion.  I just am going through some personal things right now and I haven't been spending much time at the computer.

My infusion went very well.  Thank you for the prayers!  My nurse was able to get the IV in on the FIRST try!  I was so bewildered since this never happens!!!  I usually look like a bruised pin cushion by the time the port is in.

Gigi went with us.  Children are not allowed in the infusion center, so she & my DH waited in the waiting area.  My nurse kept going out & talking with Gigi.  Next thing I knew she was carrying Gigi in to see me.  Gigi climbed up into the bed with me, and Nurse Lori told her that if she promised to be very, very quiet and to not run around she could stay.  I was so proud of Gigi.  She was such a good little girl!  The nurses kept coming in and complimenting her on her behavior.  When Nurse Lori was taking the port out she gave Gigi a pair of the latex gloves so she could play nurse.  They are purple and I can hardly get that child to take them off!  She also gave her a roll of the self-sticking gauze that they wrap tightly around you to stop the bleeding.  Gigi's been having a ball with it!  She's designed Barbi clothes out of it and bandaged her stuffed animals when they get boo-boos.  She even has nursed her dog back to health with it.

Again, thanks for the prayers!

I'm so glad things went so smoothly and that your daughter could come in. The Lord is so awesome in how He answers prayers. Always above and beyond what we can hope or imagine. :)

I've been wondering how you got on. PRAISE THE LORD for the IV going in first time!!! Prayer is sooo awesome! I'm so glad things worked out with Gigi too, though my Mom said she would be happy to help anytime. (She now has a car again too so she could come to your place if that was easier for Gigi and you guys. ) Hope everything is OK? I'm praying about the 'personal stuff' too. ((((HUGS)))) Our new arrivals came today so things are a bit nuts at the moment, but I wanted to check in on you. Love ya!
