A Smash Book for a Sick Girl

 We have just passed an eventful weekend ... My 6 year old granddaughter, sometimes called Birdy, is sick.  On Friday she woke up with a bad stomach ache, her Dad took her to Instacare, then later in the day to her pediatrician, who sent her to the emergency room of the local hospital and there they sent her to Primary Children's Hospital, the premiere Children's Hospital in 6 states.  If you have followed my blog, you know this is the hospital for which our family is involved in fund raisers twice a year.  Well, I am afraid its our turn to find out about the wonderful facility first hand.

 Here is our girl not long after she arrived, and before the meds helped her pain and her temperature. 

Knowing she would be there for a few days, I thought it would be fun to do a smash book for her to embellish.


 I found a picture of the hospital on line, to add to the book.

 I also found a couple of pictures for her to color on Graphics Fairy.  I left room for some of her own art work.
 I also included markers for her drawings, and some stickers to place where she sees fit in her book.
You can see that she was pretty happy by the time we left the hospital at 3:00 A.M., on Saturday night.
 
Now we are all feeling better too, what the doctors saw on her liver at the first hospital, is  now thought to be an infection.  The doctors have been giving her super antibiotics, and will do more scans today.
