Bella had a good time at her party playing place the glowing bracelet on the pumpkin, pin the witch on the broom, and Halloween Hokey-Pokey! She was very serious about decorating her pumpkin!
She didn’t actually Trick or Treat that night, though. By the time it was time, she was sound asleep snug in her bed. Some of us are asleep by 5:30! Glad we went to those Trunk or Treats!
Happy Halloween little Bella!
Bell loves to play tea party with her sister!
Exploring a local park
Waiting for the General Surgeon. We are finally getting around to fixing her hernia. It just hasn’t been a priority. It’s from one of her chest drain tubes. We are scheduled for Dec 5th for tubes, hernia repair, and sedated ECHO. Bella loves selfies!
As a Kickstarter backer, Bella received a song Miss Rachel made of the Christmas story – she LOVES it!
Truck or Treat at Brother’s school. Bella is a bumblebee this year
At the Church Trunk or Treat
She really likes to practice her violin. She’s so cute. It’s giant on her!
School work coming home.
The family went to a Retreat and she got to play in the sensory room at Brother’s school. She loved the ball pit! She’s tired in the last picture, but she loved her balloon!
Bella got sick at school and had to come home. Joy made her a get well card.
Aunt Kathie sent a tea seat. The girls loved it! Aunt Asia sent this cute dress and boots. So cute on Bella!
Jessi, Brother, and Bella. We were exploring our neighborhood.
Another day, another tea party!
Pulmonology went well. He acted a little scared of Bell. He knows her old Pulmonologist. He does things a little differently. Rather than just sitting around waiting for the next virus that lands us up in ICU, he’d rather her be on a couple of daily steroids to be proactive. They are meds we had weaned from, so we’ll try that. Especially with this new environment and a real winter coming! I told him my philosophy of no hospital care and he told me his - get to the hospital, get stable, then recover at home, but he did tell me he was fine sending her home on O2. So we’ll see. It makes me nervous when Bella makes a doctor nervous. They tend to overreact then. We’ll give him a shoot and see how it goes. I did like that they do have same day appointments. So if I’m considering taking her in to the hospital, I could see him first. That is nice and would never have happened in Houston.
Selfies helps us as we wait and wait and wait in doctor’s offices.
We meet our new ENT today. The Audiologist attempted a hearing test. That wasn’t happening. But she was successful with getting her tympanograms. Flat. Darn! That means tubes.
Oh well. We’ll use the time under and see if we can’t get that sedated ECHO pulmonary wanted and get her hernia repaired.
