The day after

      Sunday June 28, 2015

     The day after we found out the news about Sydnei was a very slow day. We still had no clue what the plan was. If you know me I am the type of person who wants to know what is going on, when, why, where, and how. I am a very prepared person. So not knowing what the plan was or if she was going to have surgery first or chemo it was hard waiting. Sydnei was still in really good spirits. She was still in her bed for the morning. It amazes me that she never complained once about having to lay in the bed so much. Around lunch time they came in to take out her catheter . She was still so terrified because she thought it was going to hurt. She screamed, but she realized it did not hurt when they took it out. They also had to draw blood to find out what blood type she is. They ended up having to draw it from her foot. After they got their blood they let her get up out of bed. This was the first time since we were in the hospital that she got to get up and not be hooked to anything. Sydnei was so happy. She was so ready to play.She got to see the big fish and run around the halls. They were getting us ready to be moved over to the cancer floor later that day. 

These were on sat night after we found out about her tumor. 

She loved to snuggle with daddy.                                            Being silly with mommy.  

                                                                    This girl is so silly.











             












Before she got her catheter out.                                She made her own extra long straw to drink her drink.

When she finally got to see her fish. 

     Later that day they came in to tell us that the plan was that they were going to do surgery the next day (Monday).  They felt that they could get all of the tumor and lymph nodes out. So they decided on surgery and then she would start chemo and radiation after she had healed from the surgery.  I was so terrified. When I had surgery to have my thyroid taken out it was rough for me. So I was so nervous for her. Surgery is a big deal. They said that the surgery would take up to 5 hours. I could not wrap my brain around that my 3 year old little baby girl was going to have to be cut open. It was so scary to even think of. 

   Now that we knew somewhat of the plan they moved us over to the cancer floor. This floor was so much fun for Sydnei. When we got moved over there Sydnei, Kevin, Lucas, and the nurses raced each other up and down the halls on cars. They had so much fun. We let Sydnei eat basically what she wanted for the rest of the day too. She could not eat anything after 12 that night. So we tried our best to make the day so much fun for her. 

Everyone racing down the halls.
