Share some videos

There's this beautiful lady Sarah at the hospital who volunteers her time as a musical therapist.  Her music puts tears to my eyes every time with no fail.  Lucas likes her a lot and it's not a surprise that he mentions Sarah when he plays his toy guitar.  He said that he wanted to take his guitar to hospital to share with Sarah, since Sarah shared her guitar with Lucas.  :)  Many thanks go to my HTM sisters who sent the Dora guitar first week after diagnosis.  And the Cars drum is from a beautiful lady from my dancing team -- another instant hit.  :)



Lucas told me that he would translate the book into English and read it to me.  And this is what his reading is like.  :)  BTW, this is one of those books from my childhood that my parents brought here this time.  Even though they are in black and white printed on thin tissue papers, they became instant favorite for both of my boys.  :)


The last three lumbar punctures Lucas had were performed in the in-patient operation rooms.  The policy there is more relaxed and I have been allowed to stay with Lucas into the operation room, and wait there until his anesthesia kicks in.  The one we had on the past Wednesday was in the out-patient side and they don't allow parents to go in with the kids no matter what.  Lucas used to cry very hard on his way there, so hard that he was given the soothing medication a few times.  I didn't like the extra medications, especially seeing how dazed they make him (he had a very weird smile on his face).  I kept showing him the video that my friend Kelly took from how her daughter Angelina bravely waved goodbye on her way to operation room.  It worked!  At least he didn't cry even though he was a little upset.
