Doctor Present

During our stay in the hospital, we had the opportunity to pick out a present from a room where people have donated (including a truckload of toys from Mattel!) toys, games, books, and other gifts. We chose the Little People Camping Set, and the Fisher Price Doctor Kit. Some lady also donated all her holiday bears to the Children's hospital for the kids, so we brought one of those home, too. They also had a wrapping station where we could wrap the presents. It was nice to get a break and lighten the mood a little bit to pick out something and wrap it for Macyn. When we got home she kept asking about the, "present from the doctor!" so we let her open the camping set. She LOVES it! Its pretty cool - the camper actually folds up like a pop up camper, and it comes with chairs, a fire, sleeping bags, cooler, car, and even a fishing pole. It is now one of her favorite toys to play with. We are thankful for the generosity of people donating to the Children's hospital. It really did lighten the mood and its nice to see people helping out families and the kids who do have to spend Christmas at the hospital.

What a brave little girl. Cannot imagine having to send her off to surgery but so good to hear it went well and is over! Still praying you get great results from the tests.
