Lane Family: December 2010

Wednesday, December 29, 2010

we had a great Christmas. When we came up here we didn't have anything for the kids for Christmas. We figured being together would be the best Christmas. And of course Alaina gave her bone marrow. But the kids school brought up 4 huge bags of presents and the McDonald house also gave us 4 huge bags of presents. I think the kids were more spoiled this year then any other thank you so much for everyone. We fill so loved from everyone.

In the hospital with Kaley

My new philosophy is that it is better to ask forgiveness then permission. So with that idea, we ended up having Kaley with us for 2 weeks. Finally they said her and Lilly couldn't stay. Mainly because RSV season had started. But I have to say it was a wonderful 2 weeks. She is so amazingly helpful. She made Ari, Lilly, and me so happy. Sometimes Ari would rather have her then me. I love her so much and am so grateful for her.

Happy BMT birhthday

We are now getting bone marrow. Alaina is setting records for recovery. She gets to be in the room with Arianna. They sang happy BMT birthday to her and it was a lot of fun. We now will celebrate 2 birthdays every year. Every one cheered for both Arianna and Alaina. Laney felt like quite a hero today. The bone marrow looks like a christmas red. I think that is from the oxygen in the blood. Eventually Ari will only have Alaina's blood in her. We are pretty exited because Laney has graet energy and a good imune system. She fell asleep after the party.

Playing out in the hall

It was so wonderful having everyone up here. I miss them so bad when I'm here. Me and Travis would trade of every night and when I would have them we would all sleep in the same bed. I never got to cuddle Travis so even when we are together I still miss him. Kaley would take care of Lilly out side the door they were so cute. Every one loves them. People kept complimenting me on how awesome they were I'm so greatful to have such awesome kids. I was a little concerned Lilly might get kidnapped only because about 5 people told me they were going to. I miss her so bad. She was sick so I had to gold her as much as I could then say good bye, take a shower and then go see Ari because Lilly was sick. It was sad letting her go. I'm sure it is for the best Ari is in a lot of pain so it would have been hard to have them both. But I will miss her so bad. A funny thing about her is that she likes to wake up at 3am and talk. Little goof ball.
