A true Little Miss Sunshine

Little Miss Peachy Beans has proved herself as a little ray of sunshine. Day 1 of treatment she made a friend with Haley, another 5 year old girl who has lukemia. At first there was some tension but after about an hour Mia worked her magic and the girl was automatically drawn to her. They played for hours, had snacks and watched TV. The staff and mother were shocked because Haley was never a happy camper with her treatment let alone other kids. Highschool volunteers played with the kids, which helped me enjoy the time with Mia as well. It was truly a good start. Mia was very sick come dinner time, she was achy and sore spiking very high fevers. ClaireBear came by to pay a visit to the girls and Mia was very happy. Later Claire and I snuck away to have a heavenly late night dinner. It was a huge day and I needed to escape. Again, I was kicked out of my bed. This no sleep thing is becoming second nature.

Day 2, she did it again. Making a new friend Lexi! She is 7 and such a cutie! Kathryn came again to play with the kids which is really wonderful. She volunteers with a group called Miracle Care. They visit offices and clinics to bring some happiness to the children and it does do wonders. It gives the parents time to relax and watch as the kids play. Today was a shorter day which was nice. Mia got to play with the kids at Auntie Rae's. She was in some pain, but with some rest and motrin she did awesome. Showers are done, bandages are changed and now it's time for some Wii!! We love Wii....what would we ever do without it?
