Momma Fran: daily update, good morning sickle cell family

Good Morning Sickle Cell family
I hope this day is finding warm with less pain and a big appetite. If you happen to be in the hospital don't be discouraged.
It's still Thanksgiving because the care and treatment you need is happening.
Parents we've been there turning hospital rooms into holiday central.
People make the holiday not TV ads etc.

We even made our own holidays.
On the dates we wanted.
Couple years ago after our flood and when Marqus got back out the hospital
We a Valentines Day tree and presents!
Somehow this season can generate floods of emotion we are bombarded
By ads to spend buy shop
We are told we have to be happy or have
Plenty of things.
Personally I chose people over stuff
Some of my best "things " are those macaroni ornaments my kids made light years ago.
If your in the hospital and the pain is not too bad don't forget to use those little Med cups to make bells.
Marqus used to make tongue blade super heroes.
And he actually got into soap and shave cream one time while I wasn't there.
Oops kind of a mess
Don't forget to make the biggest paper chain you can and stretch it all the way across your room.
The tech savvy crowd can use face time.
And you can dance while laying in bed ...really try it It will work.
Ok so I have a question.
What brings you joy?
Have a blessed Thanksgiving
On whatever day you chose for it to be.
We are strong.
Love you all

Try to keep your chin up when the 3pm doctor appointment doesn't happen until 5 pm. The cardiac appointment went well heart lungs sounded great so it was worth the wait.
Slowly and steadily returning to living.
