Great days, bad nights

After having a bad Thursday night, Cicily woke up at 12:30 in the afternoon and had a great day.  
 Grandma came over and gave her an Easter mani/pedi to replace her St. Patrick's day one.  For some reason, Grandma made Cicily laugh so hard when she asked her to tell her hands which nail color to choose.  Cicily was in a great laughing mood all day today.  


Friday night we had to give Cis her morphine/lorazepam combo 3 times.  Her episodes didn't seem as bad as the night before, but there was 1 more of them.  We are still so glad to have fast acting, effective meds.
 Saturday we got to spend a lovely family afternoon at Bumblebee Ranch with HopeKids.
We decided we were going to all have a serious face, so of course Cicily smiles!

  As you can see, Maya and Sophie got to ride horses and Cicily
was very happy to be feeding them carrots!  

 Thank you to Bumblebee Ranch and HopeKids.
We really enjoyed spending a beautiful day together making cherished memories.
 Chris was leaning on Cicily's chair talking to her and Cicily leaned her head over and snuggled in.  I'm really going to miss this.
We also got to ride in a wagon.  

We're sad that the nights are bad.  But, given that the days are full of smiles and belly laughs, we'll take it.

I remember when my brother was younger he would look forward to all the neat activities Hope Kids provided. What an awesome organization! So glad you guys are able to make these memories together. I love that Cicily's smile reaches her whole face. You can't help but smile when you see a smile like that. Hugs your way

That picture of Cicily leaning on her Dad's arm, is the sweetest picture. So very sweet. Prayers for all of you.
