Carmen’s Christmas Present

Carmen update: Carmen’s pediatrician called with the lab work results today and everything looks good. No kidney problems. We are not sure why she was retaining fluids. She is less swollen now so that is good. Tomorrow she is starting a new antibiotic to hopefully get rid of the C-diff.

We are all feeling much better today. Lauren went to school and to a tea party (thank you Unjoo and Tatiana for taking her!).

Carmen got an early Christmas present. A SuperSac by LoveSac. We wanted somewhere for her to rest that would be comfortable. LoveSac had an almost 50% off sale on their SuperSacs on Black Friday. Don’t worry, I didn’t stand in line at 4am to get it! I ordered it online with free shipping! www.lovesac.com

The SuperSac is way too big for our living room. It looks ridiculous. But, Carmen is very comfortable and that is what matters!

LoveSacs are bean bags filled with shredded memory foam. The SuperSac is 6 ft. in diameter. We all love sitting in the SuperSac!

Here is a picture of Carmen in the insanely big bean bag!

    Carmen looks so comfy in her new Supersac! The whole family will get lots of use out of it, I know we all sure enjoy it. Charles loved sitting in his lovesac! Eventually we even bought a sactional which is like lovesac furniture and it was so great with everyone being able to sit around charles! Merry Christmas. Give Carmen hugs from us. Hope to see you in Boston in April!

    Hi Lana,
    Teresa’s mom contacted the LoveSac company about offering a special discount to NTSAD Families. I’m returning the Executive Director’s call today. We’ve been playing phone tag.

    Carmen looks so cute!

    Hugs and prayers,
    Kim

    Kim, that would be SUPER if LoveSac would offer a discount for NTSAD families! The sac is just perfect for Carmen- comfortable but also keeps her in a good sitting position.

    She looks so comfy. She does look very tiny in that though. I am so glad that there is something that can make her more comfortable.

    Our entire family room is filled up with ridiculous looking stuff too! Every corner and empty space has something of Elise’s in it – a vest machine here, bins filled with blankets, stuffed animals and squishy pillows there. And, of course, a Lovesac. I hope you all enjoy it. They sure are comfy!

    sweet Carmen, you are such a beautiful princess. You look like sleeping beauty. How perfect you are.

    Hi Carmen and Lauren, I ate dinner last night with your NY Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Ruth. I was so happy to hear that you are coming to NY for Christmas.

    We were all at a Christmas dinner that the Student Council from the school had for Senior Citizens. Grandpa decided that we were not really Senior Citizens but we all had grey hair so it was legal to be at the dinner. That Grandpa of yours is a funny guy. He can always make me laugh.
