I guess I should start from the beginning to tell were we are going home from. We have been at Phoenix Children's Hospital since Thursday. Jenna had a sore that started out small and got bigger fast. We first took her to the DR on Monday and they took a culture, gave us ABX, and was told to watch it. By Thursday it was pretty bad and Jenna freaked out if you even came close to it. At the DR office on Thursday they then sent us to PCH. They needed to do surgery to drain the abscess and because it was MRSA they put her on some pretty good medicine and watched it. She has done good most of the time but has been confined to her room. So she is going a little crazy. We were very happy when the DR came in this AM and said we could go home. Yeah! I get to sleep in my own bed tonight. We are glad she is doing better and that we can be together as a family again.
Just waiting for them to take her to surgery. I am glad we brought books to look at.
The Child Life Specialist came and brought her many things to play with. This was a favorite toy, a bunny that she could play doctor with. It even had an IV and many band aids.
This harmonica was a hit and everyone around got to hear her beautiful music.

Poor Jenna! I'm glad to hear that you get to go home though! I can't imagine how bored Hailey would get being stuck in the hospital for several days- I had a hard time with it and I'm an adult! :-)
