not a typical day (6.5 hours)

jaimee and i went to the city of hope today for her tuesday & friday blood test but when the test came back jaimee's counts were way down ; (
this was the first time jaimee had to be given platelets, it looks like concentrated orange juice going into her...jaimee couldn't look, she closed her eyes the entire time...after the platelets were done they started the blood transfusion which she couldn't look at either, she's funny...even though they gave jaimee benedryl to help sleep through it all she woke up for the veggie pizza we ordered and went back to sleep again...yummmmy ; )

just before we left today we talked to jaimee's social worker to see what kind of fundraiser the octagon's could do for the tweener's (18-21 year olds)...this age range of kids are too old for the ronald mc donald camp or qualify for the make a wish foundation (jaimee was bummed)...even though these young adults receive medical bills in their name they are still kids at heart and deserve to have something to look forward to as well...we heard a couple of nurses might have started something and are inquiring about it, hopefully we'll hear something soon...

thank you to the oco octagon's for involving tay and asking her to help out with her sister, i really appreciate it...
