HAPPY BIRTHDAY JADA ROSE!

When I got to work at 6:00am I called to see how the BIRTHDAY GIRL'S night went? Her nurse (Natalie) said that she was up for several hours last night, acting a bit fussy. But after being rocked her in a chair by the worlds best Mom for several more hours, she fell a sleep around 4:30, and was currently sleeping. Good news however, is no fevers reported, and no diarrhea. So hopefully this liquid diet has both helped Jada Rose, and therefore will end in time for her to have some PCMC Birthday cake!

We don't know how long Jada is going to be in the ICS unit. The funny thing about the ICS is that all of a sudden the docs will show up and say "OK go home", or we could be there for days, weeks. All depends on Jada's symptoms, eating, drinking, and output...oh and of course labs;-) The ICS unit is a special wing of the hospital used for immune compromised children. It is nice because you get your own room, and it is VERY VERY clean. Were talking even more clean than Uncle Zak's Truck! Just like Uncle Zak's truck when you enter you have to wash your hands, and be free of any sickness. We love to have guests especially to wish her Happy Birthday! However, we ask that people who may be getting sick or have been sick in the last couple days, or around sick kids wait to visit. This is not just for Jada's sake, but for the other children in this wing who are trying to get better. Many of them are undergoing cancer treatment :-(.

Angel, you would make Andrea's day by visiting, so of course it's ok to visit.

Aunt Loni, Aunt Teya, I expect Jada Rose to hear of a classical rendition of the "Gramma Rose Birthday Song" sometime today, either by phone, or in person! 8-)

7:30 am....And the reward for the First Happy Birthday Wish of the Day goes to the Christensen boys! Just got a text from Rob, Britty, and CC saying "Happy Birthday to the hottest chica we know. Love, The Christensen Boys." Thanks Guys!

Troy & Andrea,
Happy Birthday little Jada! What a sweet little girl!

When my daughter was on the ICS unit, the doctor's did just what you said they do. We were told to expect her stay in the hospital to last a couple of months and earlier the next week, the doctor showed up and said "O.k. you can go home now" I didn't even know what to say. It was pretty strange!

Here's hoping your daughter can eat some yummy birthday cake today!

Troy, Andrea,

We wish Jada a happy birthday and hope that she is home soon. She is the cutest little girl. We include her in our prayers and know that she is being watched over. It seems like I am always on the computer checking on Charlie and then to Jada. Thanks for always being there for Rob & Angel.
