The Kid Hospital, Part II

Once Lisbeth recovered from the first surgery, she had daily visitors. High Tea with Sister Kaitlyn...

High Tea with Jessica Lindgren, who was in the hospital for long term monitoring...

Lunch with Gramma and Grampa Simmon (Lis-ism for Simmons)...

Cousin Elizabeth stopped in on her way to a dance recital...



Sister Kaitlyn and Brother Eben...

Making funny faces...

Brother Alec and Brother Andy. Lisbeth's illness has been a strengthening experience for my other children, but also a very, very difficult way to grow up. There need to more resources for families with children with special needs regarding the challenges for the siblings...

Place of refuge in the middle of the city...

...where tears were shed and many prayers voiced aloud to these magnificent old beech trees...

Visits from other kids in The Kid Hospital...

...who enjoyed making art with Lisbeth...

Paper plate ladies and rubber glove critters...

More airplane glue...

New headdress...

A sweet poem from Gramma Simmon...
At this point the doctors were gradually taking Lisbeth off her meds to stimulate seizure activity. With the implanted electrodes, they would now be able to get an EEG with far more detailed information than a topical EEG can yield.
More pics tomorrow...
