A trip to children's hospital...update

Granddaughter number 1

Allysha Lynn

her and I like peas in a pod.

{this photo was taken at her house

when we were getting ready to leave

to come back home after visiting one weekend}

Hard to believe that she was this little once

Look what I found grandma!

my beautiful fairy growing up

Ready for a tea party

My sweet Allysha. She is our first grandchild and

her and her mommy {our daughter} lived with us

for four years after she was born.

I took care of her while her mother worked and

basically raised her at that time. We have always been

very close. Many were the times after her mother got

married and moved two hours away that Allysha would

come and stay with me for several days and when

they would leave to go home both our hearts would

break. I would watch time after time as they drove

away with Allysha looking out the window crying

for me and I will admit that I cried too.

But she is growing up and with that comes

understanding for her {and me} that she can't be

with grandma all the time. lol.

{She is 11 now almost 12}

Fast forward to this past year. She has had many

blood draws and tests for a muscle problem and

yesterday she had to go to the big city.

Mott Children's hospital

in Ann Arbor Michigan for

a biopsy. I went along to watch my two grandsons

{her brothers} Have you ever had a five year old

and a 1 and 1/2 year old sitting in a hospital waiting

room for over five hours?? I was amazed at how

well behaved they are and very thankful as well!

A story for you from yesterday:

Jon had to go potty {five year old} so we headed

for the restrooms.

I was going to take him in with me when he

informed me that he is not a girl , but a boy! {ha}

I waited and waited and waited outside that men's

hospital bathroom and finally I cracked open the

door and said

JON ARE YOU OKAY?...

to which he replied

yes, but I can't reach the toilet paper.

Oh my...what a dilema...what to do...didn't really want to

go into the mens restroom when along came this

handsome young gentleman headed into the bathroom

and I asked him if he could help me out. He gave Jon

toilet paper and I waited some more. The young gentleman

came out laughing so much and said, "boy is he a talker"

{SO SO TRUE...doesn't ever stop talking...lol}

then he told me that Jon said "thank you very much"

and he was still laughing as he walked away.

I waited some more and then I heard him talking inside

the bathroom to an older gentleman that had gone inside.

I thought Jon was just going to stay in there and visit

with everyone who came in. ha!

I finally heard the older gentleman say, "I am going out

now and you should too...so the door opens and out they

come with the older gentleman laughing too. Okay maybe you had to be there, but it was funny

at the time.

This is a long post so I will end , but please

keep my Lyshie in your prayers.

update: I should have said that so far they have

found absolutely

nothing wrong...praying it will stay that way.

God is good!!

Blessings~
