Party at the Hospital

Abby enjoyed doing crafts at the Halloween party at her hospital. She was nervous about getting poked by the nurse later, but didn't let that stop her from playing.






The volunteers apologized for all of the candy, but I was thankful for every tempting calorie. Abby would eat only fruits and vegetables if you let her. Healthy, but not enough calories to help her gain weight.


The hospital chaplain dressed up as a mummy.
Abby was too "cool" to act scared, so she ignored him instead.

I am thankful that she was able to do something fun, while she waited to get her chemo.

Later, some good friends came over. We got some great pictures of all of the kids. I will try to post them tomorrow.
Thank you so much for praying for Abby today. She didn't get sick at all and was able to have some fun. For a chemo day, that is pretty amazing.
