Happy Abby

Today has been four days since Abby has been off of the Ventilator. She had a rough few days, since the medicines left her mind very foggy. We worried there for a little while because she was of out of it. Like always Abby has pulled through. She is much better today, fully alert and acting like her happy self again. We are just waiting for her blood pressure to get under control, so she can get out of ICU. Her dialysis is going great, and now that she is more alert, she has been cracking up all the nurses with her humor.

This blog is all about Abby, so I want to share some of her funniness with you. Well those that don't know, Abby has a phobia of male nurses. She has had a few male nurses since she has been hospitalized and they all have been great. She did have a male nurse the other day. Well being in ICU, Abby has a bed side commode. When it was time for to use the commode, she told the male nurse "Can you please leave, before I go all kinds of Mexican on you." (something she heard from Beverley Hills Chihuahua). Kids will say the darnest things, especially those medicated.

This time being in the hospital, Abby really misses her little brother Elisha. He is such a sweet brother too. I guess she realized that she has been mean to him in the past (something all big sisters are guilty of) and called him to tell him how much she loved him and how much she misses him. It was so sweet. When Elisha finally got to see her yesterday, he pulled me to the side and said "Mom, what did the Doctors give her for her to miss me so much, you should take some home." Brother and sisters will always love each other no matter what.

We have read all the comments from her blog to her last night. Some made her cry with the kindness of the comments. She said "People are so sweet." Abby is a sweetheart. She endlessly tells me and her daddy how much she loves us, her family and friends! She has been laughing so much. Most of all she keeps making us laugh. Someone once said laughter is the best medicine in the world. Please keep praying for Abby, she has a long road of head her, we know with all her friends and family supporting her, she'll be able to keep laughing! Here is a poem I read to end today's blog.

The Sound of your Laughter

The sound of your laughter is

what pulls me through the harshest winter

The sound of your laughter makes

every bright summer day brighter

The sound of your laughter is what

gets me up in the morning

with it

I can take anything life may bring

Not to make much out of it

But to me

Everyday is a good day to live

to the sound of your laughter
