Room 8

We're back in the hospital. Room 8. A scheduled admission but delayed because of her 0% immune system. Her check in date was last Wed. August 22, 2007. Kaylee has to have a certain count as far as blood,ANC, and some of this & some of that. We didn't make it last week but we did today. The process is draining. I can't explain it. Emotionally waiting all day for your room, eating that food, and having to listen to kids of all ages run around the clinic before they take you to your room on the 4th floor, Henson Tower.

Kaylee is a warrior. She hardly ever complains. It could drive you nuts like it does me, but it doesn't for Tammie or Kaylee. They take their medicine and go. It makes you compare yourself to others when things like this happen.

I learn so much from Kaylee daily. She does what she has to, and doesn't complain. Her outlook never sways. Her knowledge and authority about the human spirit is second to none. When she looks at a child or teenager during her stays or visits at Children's Mercy she can tell what would make that person better. I'm not talking medically, but spiritually. She can read attitudes by looking at their face, their stance, and their demeanor. She is someone we could all learn from!
