Photos from Shrav


Here are Shrav and Buddy (the elf) right before heading to the Operating Room. Buddy appeared for a surprise visit on Sunday during Shrav's heart party.  Apparently Buddy had stolen a Barbie convertible and was racing to her party and was stopped by Officer Brian Johns.  Shrav talked Officer Johns out of giving Buddy his first speeding ticket.  He was so grateful about it that he insisted on accompanying Shrav to the O.R.


The Child Life Specialists made Shrav's transition to the PICU wonderfully easy, they made sure there were toys waiting for her at the foot of her bed.  Last night they made sure that I met the social worker who arranged for a room to sleep in at the Ronald McDonald Apartment, a very cool oasis for parents who need a rest.  Shrav is flanked by Lisa (left) and Amici (right) who show up every day to see how she's doing and answer questions she has.  Today they brought a cool Barbie with about four choices of outfits, so she will be extremely busy getting her new doll dressed up in a few days!!

Today she started to have some clear foods, so we've had a couple of slushies made with popsicles and Sierra Mist.  Yummm....

This morning I woke up around 4 a.m. and walked out to the car for something - on the way back the moon was hanging very low and was bright orange-yellow.  Very pretty......


Right now we're resting and Shrav is doing great.  Happy Fourth to Everyone!
