Stop all construction!
Leave it to ET...Not even the toughest jack hammer operator could resist!
Today Elizabeth decided she wanted to go for a run, she had to settle for an electric bed stroll out to the parking lot. 4 nurses plus a plethora of accouterments and it was off to a private parking lot outside the radiation department. When they get outside there are all these jack hammers and construction noises coming from the parking garage above. Donna, one of her many awesome care takers, goes over and tells them to stop all construction, cuz ET is in the house. Next thing you know, silence! Pretty soon, her sister Jody has all these guys over flirting with ET. Only ET could pull this off!
I showed up just in time to click off a couple cell phone pictures. Meanwhile I am listening to the nurses discussing whether or not what they just did was legal. At that point I was wondering if it was legal to steal the yellow flowers out of the neighbors yard across the street. The two nurses standing near me said, I am sure it was OK. It only struck me on the back to the room that they were both wearing student nurse patches on their arm sleeve! Donna assures us a new precedent has been set at St. Joseph's.
What an amazing staff here! They adjusted manning and schedules to accommodate us. Now I know why my flight was mixed up and I could not fly out this morning. What a gift to witness this.

You killed me with this post - I bawled like a baby for twenty minutes.
You guys are freaking awesome.
Elizabeth had a restful night last night. She woke up ravenous and Michael fed her eggs, fruit, juice, coffee and ice cream! She wanted the toast but they said no.
When Doc B came, she was absolutely perky! He just smiles and is amazed as we all are, at her spunk and will to continue. She is now well enough to continue her radiation and will continue this for the next 7 days, God willing. The radiation should not make her sick to her stomach.
I put up about 20 gel flowers that stick to the window and she is constantly reminded of her flower garden.
I wish you all could have been here yesterday when we took her outside! How happy she was!
Elizabeth is an example to everyone who meets her. She may be my "somewhat" younger sister, but I continually learn from her, even in this hospital room.
They say if you meet one true friend in a lifetime, that you are lucky. Well, Elizabeth has proved this wrong as she has more friends than I could ever dream of. They are supporting her in so many ways. I actually had to put a sign on the door to limit her visits to 10mins. because she had the entire city of Baldwinsville here every day. :)
She truely is our angel......
