Pics from the cancer clinic

Apparently the pictures upload in reverse order but you get the idea. Gracie had such low blood counts that she needed a transfusion (which came after all of these pictures). One would think that she would be tired and just want to watch a movie or something but I cannot get myself to say no when a sweet little Gracie says, "You want to play catch with me?"

Gracie pushing the lawnmower all over the center. It did not make enough noise on its own so she would supplement with squeels and lifting the front end of the mower and then dropping it!
Gracie finds the toys in the big common area of the cancer clinic!
This is Gracie and her Sammie doll. Sammie is the doll that has a port-a-cath. Gracie gets to clean and access the port and then give drugs to Sammie. It helps her to understand what is being done with her. She loves the doll and asks for him as soon as she walks into the clinic.
This is Gracie taking her shoes off at the clinic in order to get weighed. She has the routine down at this point and is very clear that her socks do not need to come off, the blood pressure cuff should go on the left arm (not the right and certainly not her leg) and the thermometer never need go in her mouth as an armpit reading will do- in case you all wanted to know.

It's nice to see her smiling and happy with all she has to go through. We're glad things are going as well as they are and your family continues to be in our thoughts and prayers.

Lots of Love from Courtney and Rachel Hansen Family

I can't believe how much she looks like Nicki in the second picture!
