Well, I promised to catch everything up in images as well as the text I gave you...
So here is a little slide show with highlights from our hospital stay at Vanderbilt Children's hospital. The weird alligator was just wandering through the halls and I asked if we could shoot the photo. At that point, I was REALLLLLLLY bored. Safety pig was a present from Stacey, one of the care partners at the hospital. All of the nurses and staff loved Violet, she was just so tiny and sweet about all of their poking and prodding how could they not??? The only time she protested was when Jen took her temperature, and she repaid by nearly squirting her with poo. Jen was fast and got out of the way...barely!
On the day we left, Shawna, a nurse we had a number of nights, came by just to say goodbye to Violet. She was the nurse that was on duty when we had to put Keona down and was so supporting and kind.
Lindsey is one of my art students who took care of the dogs while we were in the hospital, well, for part of the time. She has been waiting for Violet to come since we found out we were picked. She took pity on me and brought me dinner that night as I was starving, too tired to go get anything, and all of the delivery places stopped delivering about 30 minutes before I thought about food. It was Sunday I believe. So she came with food, but really it was just her excuse to get to come meet Violet. She was her first non-adoption, non-hospital staff visitor! As you can see, she was VERY excited to be there.
