This morning Kallia woke up in a very good mood. She got dressed, eat breakfast, took her medicines without too much complaint, brushed her hair, and said, "I'm ready to go to school today."
How sad. Because she can't go to school! She was pretty upset when I told her this. But we decided if she was still feeling good after her nurses came maybe she could go to the store to buy Liberty a birthday present.
She had a really hard time with the nurses. It hurts to get the dressing changed on a pic line. She screamed and cried.
After the nurse visit and lunch she was desperate to go to the store and buy Gideon and Liberty birthday presents. Gideon's birthday is Monday and Liberty's is Tuesday. Some friends in Steve's MBA class gave her some money to spend and she really wanted to buy her siblings some presents!
So after telling her the only way she could leave the house and go to a store was with a mask and gloves, we left.
This was Kallia's first day out since this whole thing started! She was SOOO happy to leave the house. She didn't even mind wearing the mask and gloves!
She had such a delightful time at Target. I realized that this was the first time I have seen her be her true self in months. I figured out that the last I could remember her acting so lively and happy was when we went to Lagoon the first part of July. Even on our trip to Texas she was in and out of happiness.
She spent so much time looking over presents for her siblings' birthdays. She wanted to get just the right things to make them happy.
Of course when we were done shopping all she could think about was food so we stopped for popcorn on the way out.
There's a big smile under that blingy mask! :)
