Now...we wait.

April 25, 2009

If you have ever had to wait in a doctor's office or hospital, than you know the fun and entertainment that is in store for you right?  Due to the fact that most of the people in hospitals are doctors, nurses, and tired parents, fun and entertainment is scarce.  So, as we waited for the biopsy results, we entertained ourselves with the help of doctors and friends.

Below was the main event of this day.  A CT (CAT) Scan.  The show was presented by our lovely vegan ;) doctor.  We all sat around the screen as we took a virtual tour of the insides of Airica from the top of her beautiful head to...well...as the doctor so gracefully said it, her bottom.  Airica thought that was the funniest thing that she had ever heard.  She asked, "My bottom? Like my butt?"  Yup!  Her bottom like her butt, booty, tushy, bum, or whatever you prefer to call it.  We watched it over and over, like the funny part in your favorite movie that you rewind over and over and laugh a little more each time.  I think even the doctor enjoyed the show and antics.

Unlike our primitive home, the hospital had cable!  O-M-G DISNEY CHANNEL!!!  We did not, and do not have cable TV.  As you know this day and age that means no TV.  Both Airica and Alyssa consider this a form of child abuse (please don't report me we have lots of DVD's).  Below is Airica, Alyssa, Aleena (the BFFAE), and her sister Seana (aka my red-headed step-child).  They are actually demonstrating the facial expressions and postures that are the reason we don't have cable, while watching Phineas and Ferb.   

Like Aleena and her family so many people came to visit.  Bringing food, love, toys, and best of all kids to fill up the this quiet room in the hospital with energy, noise, and color. Helping us to forget we were there, and why we were there.  To all of those people, we remain grateful to this day.

More of our journal entries XOXO

FYI: Googie is a nickname that only her Dad (Eric) and I called her.  Like many babies goo was one of her first sounds.  When we would say goo to her she would bust out in goo goo conversations with many laughs, smiles, and goos.  When we would see her cute little baby face we would say "Hi goo goo" and her response was amazing!  That morphed into "Hi googie" and it stuck. I called her Googie, her Dad called her Googie, as you see she refers to herself as Googie.  However that is where it stayed just between the three of us XOXO
