Can Tabs, Mississippi State, New Picc...

Wow...so thanks to everyone for the can tabs!!  Mrs.Debbie and Mr.Danny brought 95 pounds of can tabs from Kosciusko!  That is just amazing!  We were asking the workers at The Ronald McDonald House about this, and he said that every pound is about 1200 tabs!  That makes it 114,000 can tabs!  The support is just phenomenal!  Peyton is also styling in her new Mississippi State bootie socks from Aunt Hannah and Uncle Gary.  We put these on her Saturday, and I am pretty sure the newest little bulldog fan brought them some good luck!  They looked good Saturday...hope they can keep it up.  You better believe little missy will have those little socks on for every game!  She also has a Mississippi State paper fan that says "Dawg Lover" posted on her bulletin board next to her bed.  The nurses and doctors definitely know where we're from... =) Yesterday, Peyton had to get a new Picc line in her arm.  This is a line that all her meds and everything goes through.  The one she has on her right arm has to be taken out so that the skin can heal on that side from her skin infection.  Unfortunately, she was being stingy with her veins yesterday...she did not want to get poked so she was hiding  them!  Today, a new picc nurse (they have special nurses just for this!) to come and try to see if she could get a line in...and she sure did!  Peyton behaved for the most part too...of course they gave her some meds to sedate her so they could do what they needed to do....otherwise, she would be trying to box the nurses with those arms.  Tomorrow will be the echo of the heart again..hopefully, everything will still be good with that and maybe we can start talking surgery again.  Oh yeah, and her weight is up again...7 lbs 5 ounces.  Of course, this number goes up and down some, but little missy is plumping up nicely!  Guess that's all for now!  Love Yall!

    I am collecting tabs at the school where I teach for Peyton. I posted it to Facebook tonight and have a lot of donors too! I pray that it will help you. Love the bath pictures!!
