A day with the V-girl


I just spent the day with Vava and her two wonderful friends, Ani and Lily, plus Ani's mom Lisa. The girls gave Va a real lift, from hanging out watching "What Not to Wear" to a trip to the nearly abandoned cafeteria for chips and soda. Cousins stopped by too: Elizabeth, Nate & Sara, Janice, Saul, & Crystal, April and her parents. And Jessica and her family came too. Everyone wants Vava and Ki and Marty to know how much they love them, and they want to help.

Vava is so smart, she knows what questions to ask the nurses about the equipment, her potential surgery prospects, whether she has to keep the IV on or can make do with drinking more liquids.

V had a chance to talk on the phone with some other friends, and with her Granny and Gramps who are heading over to see her soon.

As hard as all this is, Va and her parents are surrounded by great friends, family members, and folks from V's school who love them.

I left her looking so pretty, a little tired from all the company but happy to have had her girlfriends nearby and to have gotten some good "loot" from all her visitors!
