This time Dolly McParton, a gift from our Irish friends, joined us for the 8th and final spinal injection (We have one more IV to go before heading home. YAY!). Dolly escaped the IV, though, since K made it through without too much of a fuss.
Jack, one of the interpreters, entertained K before she went in. She loved it, of course. At least, Tia got a chance to relax for this one.

Kaelyn celebrated her birthday on the 4th at the hospital. K was the ‘princess’ for the day. She loved it!
We started out the day with Tia making cinnamon toast for K in Happy Bday letters. They were delicious!
Great start for the bday... Thanks Tia!
In the evening, a number of the staff, along with the families we have gotten to know while here, got together to celebrate her bday over a potluck dinner. We had a great time and got the opportunity to try out dishes from some of the other parts of this world, even a couple of the local dishes. K was extremely excited.
It was perfect considering that we were missing our regular family celebration.
And, then the following morning, she got to celebrate it all over again with the family via computer.
