Oct 30, Short Rounds

Stacy here.
I have the computer here with me tonight at the RMH, thus I get to do the update.  Which, there really isn't a lot of updating to do.  Rounds are very quick on Lindsey these days.  She had a lab holiday today (meaning no blood draws).  She was really excited about that.  No dressing changes, she will get that tomorrow and then hopefully convince the doctors to go to once a week.  Her skin is starting to get rashy and irritated from all the cleaning.  With her site looking so good, I don't think it will take too much convincing.  She had an echo today, we will find the results of that tomorrow.  She has been getting them weekly for awhile.  I don't anticipate much change. Lindsey has been going out by the fountain for lunch.  That seems to really help her.  It is amazing how much better she feels and her day goes when she goes for those walks.  Frankly, I don't blame her! Any time out of her room would feel better. 

We are preparing ourselves for a fun, crazy busy and festive day tomorrow.  Hunter has his party at his school, Sierra has a band concert, they are playing Halloween music for the school (she is pretty excited, they are playing "The Adam's Family"), Megan has her semifinal volleyball game and Lindsey has her school/hospital party.  Some times overlap and some are consecutive.  The biggest event will be Lindsey's school/hospital party.  The hospital makes a haunted house on the ground floor.  All the patients and siblings trick-or-treat to each unit of the hospital and it is lots of candy and fun from what we have heard.  Not to mention the party that is later that afternoon at the RMH.  I am excited, it will be a fun day!

Our bitter sweet news for tonight, is that little Tristen Thompson gets to possibly go home tomorrow or the next day.  I mean home, home! Oregon home, not RMH.  We are so excited that they have come to this point, but we will miss them terribly. 

Lindsey is looking forward to skyping with her class tomorrow, and show off her costume. She has been keeping it a secret to surprise everyone.  She only tells the people who will not be working tomorrow what her costume is.  It is pretty cute. Like I said, a fun day ahead!

How fun, the busy days seem to go by the fastest. ;) So they did the annual tri ward haunted maze tonight. Colby said it was really good. Lots of fun and lots of screaming kids. I bet yours will be a little bit well lets say kid friendly. I don't think they allow chain saws in the hospital. ;) I hope you guys have a great day tomorrow. prayers and love from the thompsons

Today we went on a field trip to the corn maze and pumpkin patch and the kids had a blast! The weather thankfully held out for us which helped with making the day so pleasant. Sounds like tomorrow will be a bit of a marathon for you all, should help make the day fly by! Good luck to the girls! Can't wait to hear how both girls do. :) Happy Halloween to you all and hope its not to spooky of a day. Congrats to Tristin and her family for being able to return home, prayers for their safe travels. Prayers to Linsdey and may she continue to be blessed with more good days. Loves, hugs, and many prayers xoxoxoxo
