At least everyone she won’t walk away with any unpleasant memories. I’m glad everything turned out alright. All the best.

WOW.

I really enjoyed the line at the end – Rose’s reaction to stories. Very cute.

Thank you (to each of you,) for your kind words. I am also glad Rose doesn’t have meningitis, and glad she’s been so brave. It has been a long night and day, still — unfortunately the virus is still causing her pain. Now the pain is in her legs, and it kept her (and me) from sleeping well last night and has been intermittently causing her to cry or scream today, and this even though I’m keeping her on pain medication. When I can get her to sleep (as I have a couple times today) she is much happier afterwards. I do hope this virus gets better soon, since she and I are both pretty much zombies (and my dirty house and baskets of dirty laundry are showing the results.)

Hi Zina, hope you’re feeling much better and you and Rose are getting plenty of rest. I’m so glad Rose doesn’t have anything too serious! What a traumatic experience for a little kid, but she sounded so brave and surprisingly optimistic. I’m so glad you also had family and friends there to help and comfort. Wishing a swift recovery to you both! Love you all – Jess

Zina & family- I am so relieved that all is well. Please let me know if you need anything. I will remember your family in my prayers. I bet you are exhausted!! Sweet Rose is such a doll . . . it reminds me of when S. had iv sedation for dental work. Upon coming out of sedation I asked her how she was doing. In a long, stretched out voice she said, “grrrreeeeeaaaaat.” She meant it. Rose seems to have been such a trooper as well. Love ya–

Oh Z what a day. I’m so sorry. I think this was the sweetest / saddest thing I have read in a while, particularly Rose coming out of the anesthesia made me tear up. Thanks for sharing. God bless y’all.
