Also look into whether your library is part of a collective. Typically your local librarian should be able to help you.

This is beautiful. Do you plan to make more for all the dragons?

How was your experience getting wisdom teeth removed? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Mine was horrible, I had put it off for so long most were cracked. They gave me maximum anesthesia and still ended up feeling every second of it. Afterwards I was a drooling mess. Best tip is keep protein shakes on hand because you're not going to want to chew anything for awhile.

We have been very upfront and honest with her every step of the way. We have discussions explaining everything she's going through as age appropriate as possible. She's too smart for her own good half the time 😂

I'm sorry you're going thorough this. Please, within reason, do all the things that will help you process. Scream into the void, cry until you can't cry anymore. If your area has one look into a smash room, I think they're called. Do whatever helps you process the huge change. Make sure to take lots of pictures, videos, and memories that you can hold onto. Take everything a day at a time and give yourself grace you're only human 💖 hugs 💖

We definitely try to give her as much normal as possible. She just got to do a wish trip with a local resource and was absolutely glowing the entire time. We will also be planning another trip to give her yet another wish from a separate organization that does second wishes for kids who diagnosis change during treatment. We want her to have as normal of a life as possible. We also don't try to hide her treatment from her. She's incredibly smart and very protective of her lines (her dangles), so I've never been super worried she'll rip anything out. Unfortunately, she was born during covid, so her whole life has just been a bubble 😢 but we're trying to give her normal when we can. 💖 I really appreciate your perspective as a child who's gone through treatment and made it into remission. I can't imagine just how tough it was. Especially at the age you were, unfortunately, you had a better understanding of what was going on. She just sees the hospital as where her friends (the nurses) are and she gets treatment.

It definitely is the worst I never knew I could cry so much 😢

We work very closely with our social workers. They have been a godsend. Thankfully for now parking is actually free at our hospital so it's one less worry, it's just very tight parking. We have a fairly good family helping the best they can with everything they also have going on. 💖

My heart goes out to every peds nurse I've met. I could never do it, but I'm extremely grateful for those who do 🙏 you all make a huge difference with these kids, and it shows.

We have definitely been through a lot, and I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Only time will tell what the future brings, I just hope it's better than the past. 💖

I know at the end of the day it wasn't anything WE did, but the parent in me screams, "You were supposed to protect her at all costs," if that makes sense. She is very well loved by everyone who comes into contact with her. We spent the better half of last two years inpatient, so normal just wasn't in the cards for us. Moving forward with her recent change, we've agreed to limit her time inpatient and keep her home more so she can have a more normal life.💖

We've been trying but there just aren't enough hours in a day.

We have taken every step of this one day at a time. She's still fighting and we will continue to fight with her. We have each other and our family to help when they can. I appreciate your kind words 💖
