Wonderful Nurse Katie, from the pediatric floor, stopped by the PICU to spend some time with Josie. We love Nurse Katie! She radiates kindness and compassion. Visits from Katie are always appreciated because she has a really comforting vibe which helps keep Josie's neurotic mama nice and calm!
And just when we thought this day couldn't get any better, Josie received a thrilling surprise from blogosphere celebrities, Pudge and Zippy - a spectacular balloon bouquet! Something tells me that sprightly duo knows a thing or two about how make a baby forget she's in the PICU. Josie was captivated by those shiny and colorful floating treasures!
This is even better than the ceiling fan!
Josie's infatuation was so steadfast that she made those doctors and nurses work around those balloons to check her vitals. It's actually quite humorous to see a resident get tangled in a cluster of mylar balloons while tryng to assess her patient. Talk about the cherry on top of one terrific day! What a heartwarming gesture infused with love and encouragement.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's live report! Papa, YaYa, Travis and I are all eagerly awaiting the opportunity to hold our sweet baby Josie once again. We could just burst!
How wonderful!! We are so happy for how well Josie is doing, and what a totally thoughtful gift from Pudge and Zippy's parents:) We'll keep praying for continued improvement and total recovery...so glad you get to hold your baby tomorrow!!
