Happy Powder, Empty Glass and A Girl’s Best Friend

April 30, 2014

I’m headed to bed but before I go, here are a few photos from the day.

Sarah was thrilled when she got down to the last glass of Happy Powder.  Big reason to smile.

Although most of her day went fairly well, she had a couple low spells this afternoon with a few tears, some shakiness, chills and fatigue.  I tucked her in on the couch and Summer took up her nursing post, just like her predecessor before her always did.

    I hope everything went well today. Thinking of you all. It’s hard for the parent as well as the patient. Sarah is very cooperative to allow you to take pictures of her when she’s definitely not feeling the best.

    I hope it goes well, I prayed for Sarah today. . Kim described how I feel as well. Love and hugs to you friends I haven’t met yet. (But if you ever have a desire to come north to Canada I’d love to meet you in person and have you become friends I’ve already met!).

  19. SueEllen says:

    Sending hugs and prayers to the Smith family, especially Sarah. My husband had two colonoscopies before age 50 and I am thoroughly convinced the prep is worse than the procedure, so hang in there Sarah, the worst is almost behind you. I admire your strength and courage!

  20. Brooke R. says:

    Your dear Sarah has already proven to be tough beyond words, and I know she’ll be fine. Even so, she’s in my prayers.

  25. Ann Martin says:

    Glad she got it all down. Now when I have to do it later in May possibly, she can pray for me and remind me she did it. Hope things go well tomorrow. Prayers for all.
