Worst day so far.

Today was the longest and saddest day so far. We started with our first appointment at 9:30. Just a little blood draw nothing major. She cried for a second. Well by the time we got back out to the waiting room her two band aids were covered in blood She wouldn't stop bleeding. :( She got to pick out a little elmo ball which she loves. 10:30 was her shot of Procit. Not bad just a little cry again. I talked to the nurse a little about some concerns while Renae is in the hospital. Breastfeeding, sleeping. Things like that.

Now to sit for and hour and half and wait for her eye testing. This was the sad part. Little girl is already so tired and wore out. First they put an eye patch on one eye and held some flash cards, no biggie. Shes still happy at this point. Same with the next eye. I'm pretty sure when they took the sticky eye patch of they took her little eye brows too! Now on to the hard part. They put these little patches on the back of her head with gluey stuff hooked to wire to a computer, then one on the front of her forehead then a clamp on her ear. All while having the eye patch on still. Shes screaming, moving every where. Just not happy! They made her look at the flashy light on a screen 3 times in sets of five mins. Then on to the next eye .She is still screaming and all the nurses kept saying was, "man shes strong"

After all of that they put drops in her eyes and make us sit for at least 30 mins till the Dr is ready to look. She is just calming down when he comes in. Now he makes her made again by looking into her eyes with lights and all these things. Poor kid! He said everything seems fine but they have to wait for the electronic one to be read. SO hopefully all is good.

Next big outing is the dinner on Saturday! Hope to see you all there!

Appointments and benefit dinner

Well this week is a crazy week. Just 2 weeks till Renae's surgery. Tuesday we have a blood draw at the lab, shot at the drs, and a eye appointment which they said would take a few hours. What a long day. I don't want to take her out in the cold but it's not like they will come to her lol. This coming Saturday is are benefit dinner. Every one has been working so hard to help us. Bobby, Renae and I are so grateful for that!

The Spaghetti Dinner Benefit will be held at the Lake Milton American Legion (16365 Milton Ave, Lake Milton, OH 44429) from 1:00 to 6:00 PM. Admission for Adults is just $8 per ticket. Admission for Children 12 and under is $5 per ticket. 3 and under are free!

Organizations like Girl Scout Troop #80244 and the Lake Milton Browns Backers have already pledged their support, but more help is needed to help pay for Renae’s treatment. In addition to donations, we are asking for raffle prize donations to be auctioned off at the benefit and any other help you are willing to give..

Hope to see all our family and friends there!

I will try and blog a little more since we are close to the surgery and there is so much more going on.

Missed post from last week.

Just a little update. Renae's surgery is less then 3 weeks away now. This past Monday she started her weekly shots and blood draw that she needs clear up to the week of surgery. 

This coming week we have 3 appointments she has to go to. She started taking Meds twice a day to help her shots work better. Poor little girl. She is taking this all so well. As you can tell from these pictures taken a few hours after we got home.
