Chelsie in the Hospital

Once while Chelsie was in the hospital, I think she had been really sick because of the pain in her throat and had to be hospitalized…she was so disappointed because it would mean that she wouldn’t get to have a full three weeks between chemo treatments. I think she had been in the hospital for a week and she was so sick of everyone and of that place, being in the hospital just put her in a bad mood…maybe it was because she was no longer in the land of the living and the unsick…she was in land of the sick and she hated feeling that way. I think most of the time she liked to pretend that she was not all that bad and the hospital made that impossible. It is not really a distinguishable memory just one that I remember, but we had been waiting all morning for her to get released and those things take forever, finally the doctor said she was released. I told her… “Chelsie, you get to go home!!” She got so instantly happy, she was smiling and so excited! She was still so weak but couldn’t get her shoes and her jacket on fast enough but all she wanted to do was get in that car and be on her way It was really a special memory to me then! I hadn’t seen her happy and hopeful for awhile and it was so touching to see her transformation. It made me shed a tear or two on the way home.
