We’re getting ready to head to bed but I wanted to let you know that we made it home safely and Ceci’s doing good.

We’re waiting on Ceci’s iv fluids to complete and then we are going to sleep so well tonight.

We had a long day at Children’s Hospital but were thankful she was able to get all her testing done at the hospital we trust so dearly.

Ceci had several sets of xrays done to check her spine, her chest and her internal organs. And she got them done like a trooper. Never complaining and following all directions 🙂

Now we wait……

We have to wait on the radiologist to finalize all her spinal reports and send them to Orthopedic surgery and pediatric surgery and then get back to us.

But we’re trusting that God has this in his hands and that Ceci will be all good 💟👣

Let me just say I appreciate her so much ❤

She goes through so much and endures more than most, but never has a negative outlook and respects all the health care staff no matter what their positions are. She knows everyone is important and I love that about her.

She’s very kind and makes conversation and friends everywhere we go. So proud of the young woman she’s becoming 😊. Just had to have a mommy moment there. I think I’m so emotional today because she’s growing up so fast!

Our girls Birthday is this Wednesday and she’s turning 15 years old. That’s right 15! Can’t believe how fast it’s gone by. Feels like I was just updating her Carepage site about her 4th birthday and now she’s turning 15!

She was such a tiny peanut. Now she’s a beautiful young lady 🥰

After all the stress from today we wanted to do something to take our minds off everything. So we organized her vanity and our girl tried out her new make up palette her older sister got her for her birthday.

She loves it!

Make up is a huge hobby of hers and she loves learning about different techniques and trends.

😁 she might end up having 2 careers. Child life specialist by day and make up artist by night and on the weekends.

Well guys Ceci’s fluids are about done and it’s nearly 1am so I’m signing off for now.

We want to say thank you so very much for praying for our family member in Chicago fighting covid right now.

I spoke to him again today and we’re thankful that his fever finally broke and his breathing is getting much better.

We’ve been so worried so knowing he’s recovering after a very hard weekend is being our hearts feel at ease. Thank you friends.

We’ll be back soon.

Lots of love and hugs,

Alexis, Cecilia Marie and Our Special Family 💜
