Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there (especially to my Daddy) and to Adam, who has been there going through everything with us and who we couldn't be without.
Friday
Nothing happening today :( Slow, boring days like this really make it hard at the hospital. We found out some sad news...Lindsay, our most favorite Child Life Specialist, is moving back to Texas. Her last day is next Friday. She has been training a new CLS, Layne, who will be who Haylee sees in clinic when she starts maintenance. I imagine we will be seeing a lot of Lindsay next week since she said she has to soak up as much time with Haylee as possible in a week (I think Lindsay is just as fond of Haylee as Haylee is of her).
We headed downstairs to the library for daily personal time. Lindsay and Layne came to find Haylee to take her on a photo scavenger hunt throughout the hospital. It gave Haylee the opportunity to interact with Layne and spend some time with Lindsay. Haylee went with Lindsay and Layne to meet their boss (whose name is also Lindsay). Boss Lindsay liked Haylee's fashion statement with the Lillybands wrapped around her ankles like anklets so Haylee is going to participate in the HLN story about the people who make Lillybands next Thursday (yes, she's going to be on TV again).
Nonna showed up around 7:30pm to stay with Haylee for the weekend. I'm excited to get some much needed time in with my men (but I'll miss Haylee all in the same).

Saturday
Haylee and Nonna went downstairs for an early game of BINGO. Haylee was able to get Tinkerbell/Fairy dolls with every win and Nonna played to win things for Mason.
On their way down, Dr. Pucci was making his rounds on the floor. Him and Haylee get excited to see each other. He asked Haylee if she had ever been TP'ed.....Nonna thought there was no way he would do something like that....well......

Later on, Haylee and Nonna were racing down the stairs and Haylee fell down a few of the stairs. She wasn't hurt any worse than a bruise on her knee but since she was low on platelets, I'm sure it looked worse than it really was. She didn't even cry!

Sunday
Haylee wanted to be lazy today so she stayed in bed and played her DS for most of the day. The doctors came in and checked on her knee - just a bump and a bruise. Her platelet count dropped to 10k so they gave her a good sized bag of platelets to replenish. She was given Benadryl for pre-med but didn't fall asleep. She said she got tired but stayed awake.
For Father's Day, Haylee made Adam a coffee cup and a duct tape wallet (which was actually really neat). She wanted him to empty his current wallet and use the one she made but its huge and has animal print on it (hehe!). Danielle came in and showed Haylee, Nonna, and Mason how to make duct tape flowers to go on pens. A neat idea! Danielle also caught Haylee up on her Beads of Courage and she now has 4 strands to show off :)
Haylee and Mason played ball in the garden with Nonna and threw pennies in the wishing wells in the garden. They left around 5pm and Haylee and I headed upstairs to chill for the rest of the night. She went into the playroom with a volunteer for a little bit then came back for a bath and bed.
