Round 2/day 2

Our girl Robynn is taking this round like a Champ! She struggles a little with nausea, but for the most part, she's doing fantastic. She has been sleeping off all the pain meds she was given yesterday to help her tolerate her tummy tap. They drained a little over a litre and don't see any other fluid in her abdomen. Her distended tummy is now from hardened blood that needs to break down and be reabsorbed. It looks 100 times better than a couple weeks ago...that was just unbelievable!
She is pretty tender from the procedure, but continues to walk the halls and keep down more and more food! Go Robynn, Go!

We all know how precious Robynn is to us, but I wanted to share how she touches those new in her life. Since Robynn has started treatments at Sutter-Roseville, her infectious smile/laugh and positive attitude has touched those who are in charge of her care. Almost every department including transportation, housekeeping, food delivery, radiation, nursing assistants and nurses have fallen for our girl. She has received many cards and yesterday upon her return, the nurses/nurses assistants who switch off caring for Robynn brought her a beautiful ceramic angel, a floppy turquoise sun hat and a great big super cute travel bag for her back and forth trips to her "other home". How sweet is that!!!??? To top it off they have figured out the blog and are able to see how she's doing when she is away from them. Who else could inspire such a following? She really is a most precious gift to all of us!

I'm off to pick up Hailey and head to the hospital...write ya soon faithful soldiers!

Pray on,
S

Robynn,
I think back to the summer of '95 when we first met......I have watched you grow into one of the most beautiful, wonderful, loving, giving, awsome women I have ever met. I admire your strength and beauty (the inside beauty and the outside beauty). You are inspiration to ALL of us! I love you! My love to all of you.
