On Friday April 24th Sara was introduced to the luxuries of being a patient at Primary Children's. She had people come by with a cart full of art supplies, play dough, games etc. and gave her what she wanted.
Then she learned about Room Service, which she thought was the best thing ever. She could order over the phone what ever she wanted, when she wanted it. She could have steak and shrimp for breakfast and pancakes for dinner or whatever she wanted. Her first order was a green salad with ranch dressing, a strawberry smoothie, and a pint of chocolate chip cookie dough Dreyers ice cream! She didn't eat the salad, because she didn't like the dressing, but she liked everything else. Grandma had brought her a footlong sub, for all of us to share. But Sara ate the whole thing minus maybe 3 bites the Craig took. I don't blame her for being hungry, it had been over 24 hours since she had food, and she wouldn't feel like eating for a few days after surgery. That night while she ate, we watched a few Disney movies, and had fun laughing. Around 10 p.m. the nurse came in and started her IV fluids. Well her IV started causing a lot of pain and so he stopped it. He let her relax and around 11:30 came in and started it again. Well she started crying so he had the IV team come up and start a new IV. She didn't like this. Once we calmed her down by watching Disney things were better and finally around 2 p.m. we fell asleep, to be awoken at 4 p.m. by the nurses. Craig and I had a hard time falling back to sleep. It was a long tiring night, but we will do anything to make sure Sara is at peace and better.

Jill,
I'm sitting here reading your last few day events crying my eyes out! I am so glad everything has worked out and that they took it serious enough to get her in so quickly! She looks like she has had a rough couple of days, but she is a tough cookie!
Your sweet family & Sara are in my prayers. I am so grateful for the priesthood and it powerful healing when used by those who have faith! Good Luck!
Cade and I are in awe of Sara and all you have been through this week. I am so glad things have been working out well. We are praying for you.
