Slowly but surely I am feeling better. This fluid in the lungs thing is not fun...but fortunately the pain is going away...but then when you live with a yummilicious little Warrior Princess it is hard not keep a smile on your face even if your body is not 100%. Savvy is so darn cute it is almost to the point of ridiculousness!!! I know...I am biased...but I do not care...I will share my bias viewpoints.
Robert aka Super Papi is amazing but we all know that by now...but when I am down it is so fabulous to have someone who can and does pick up the slack with no problem...so on Monday morning my little Warrior Princess goes off to work with her Super Papi (I understand his office looks like a sticker explosion hit it...) and then to the courthouse with him to drop off whatever it is that these Super Papi lawyers drop off in courthouses....so here is a cute story that was shared with me. Savvy has a new purse...yup..SHOCKING! Super Papi HAD to buy this Hello Kitty purse for Savvy when Mami was out of town because well...it was just so darn cute like she is...pink and glitter....what every Warrior Princess needs!
The two of them trot on down to the court house and the officers in the court house tell Robert that it is okay that she does not have to put her purse in the conveyor belt to walk through (the purse is empty)...but Savvy so use to going through airport security is ready, willing and able to place her purse in the conveyor belt walk through and wait for it on the other side....just made me smile...for I remember the first time we went through security at an airport with her she had a diaper wrapping her IV on her arm and now she carries a Hello Kitty purse....my heart smiles!!!
Then after coming home for lunch and naps...they get ready to drive Mami to school for I could not breathe very well and radomnly went into coughing fits with pain...so thinking it would not be a great idea to drive my little familia takes me to class...and they head to the park as I sit in class.
Tuesday morning again...I have to go to class ... which I could stay home but that is not the reality of my program...and in the back of my mind I am always thinking if Savvy goes to the ER then I have to reserve not going to class for that ... not because I do not feel well...so I go to class and I felt better then I thought I would ... meanwhile Savvy goes to the park with Super Papi and DISCOVERS puddles!!!! I know this because when I got back in the car she was wearing a different outfit....Yeahhhhhhh!!! A different outfit and it was not because of VOMIT!!! WOOOHOOOO for the Warrior Princess!!!!
Then we head to Chick-Filet for lunch (love this restaurant...they have hand sanitizer wipes in the bathrooms and play areas!!!! Kudos to them for this!!! AND Savvy is not allergic to their chicken!!! WOOHOOO!!!) So she is a bit overwhelmed at first with all of the kids playing in the play area so we take her out and have lunch...Super Papi gets a "work call" that he has to take care so Savvy and I go back to the play area...I sit and catch my breath while my now energized Warrior Princess starts "talking...I mean lecturing" the other kids...now it hurts to laugh but I could not help myself...she is the smallest thing in the play area and she is yapping along with such a serious note ... the other parents in the play room started to laugh too. She just makes me smile....this time last year...she was so sick....actually it was right before Halloween when we had our VERY SCARY final admission at All Children's before we moved up to the Ronald McDonald House to be close to CHOP...so a year later to have her "lecturing" the big kids with such ENERGY...just makes my heart smile!!!
So today, I am feeling much better...things still hurt but they are not as bad as they could be so I am happy!!! We have received Savvy's CBC results back from her "pokey" last week and have forwarded them to her transplant team...just waiting to hear back now on what the results mean....but meanwhile as I type I listen to my little Warrior Princess "talking" to her doll trying with all of her might to skip nap time... I just love it!!!! My heart is smiling and smiling BIG!
My heart smiles....not a day goes by that I do not think of our donor angel...our angels family does not hear me but I thank them daily for our "Gift"...for without this gift I know ... I KNOW...my heart would not smile today. Thank you for letting my heart smile...Thank you!
