Saturday at Packard


A little Emily story from yesterday.

Yesterday they showed Wall*E the movie here in the play room. Emily was really excited about the movie, but also really excited to bring popcorn to the movie. We had brought some microwave popcorn with us to the hospital. We had to leave her alone for a little while to deal with a room issue. When we came back in the movie had started and Emily was eating her popcorn, but so were all the other kids. Emily had passed out and shared all of her popcorn. Then during the film Emily caught Tracy's eye and motioned that she needed Tracy urgently. Tracy went over to see what Emily wanted or needed. When Tracy got over to her, Emily urgently whispered in Tracy's ear "popcorn alert, popcorn alert" Tracy looked down and Emily had popcorn in her bag, but noticed that Emily was watching over the other kids and had noticed a little boy was about to run out of popcorn and she wanted to make sure he didn't run out.

In the middle of her own treatment and hospitalization that she is so concerned about how others are feeling and if they are having fun is truly amazing and is a great example of what a wonderful person she is.

We are just kicking back and passing the hours the best we can here. They have increased the rate of her hydration this time in hopes she clears quicker. The initial read was 21 and we need to be lower than 0.10 to leave, we have a ways to go.

I love that popcorn story about Emily...I can just imagine her saying "popcorn alert." Sorry you guys lost the room with the extra bed, but I'm glad Emily got to see Wall-E with the other kids- sounds like she had fun. :)
