Tate’s days continue to be a lot of sleeping with a mini rally here and there. She missed the Christmas pageant at church yesterday and her YG Christmas party. Pain continues to be an issue and she just seems to be feeling crummy most of the time.
She has buckets of appointments again this week. Tomorrow she’ll have anesthesia for a procedure to work on the inflammation in her hips.
I’ve been a little lax at sharing all the fun things, so here’s a photo recap….Tate donated a bunch of Make it Mini balls to Childlife on 8th floor during her last admission. She has a bag full for North Campus too. Her biggest hope is that she will be able to partner with the company to provide a regular stream for the hospital teens. When we sorted toys, it was evident the need for teen items is great. Tate was really moved by this.
-300 trees were donated for the inpatient kids. Tate was surprised with Candyland. It’s remarkable!
-Make A Wish had a shopping day when Tate was inpatient. She’s done this before a couple years ago outpatient. The volunteers are remarkable humans. Kindness is everything. It was such a bright spot for Tate. The kids shop for their family members from a conference room decked out like a department store. The gifts are all wrapped and ready to take home. Thanks MAW!
