Biopsy

When I got into the building to get my biopsy we went into the waiting room and stayed there watching Princess Sofia the first.

Then we were called in and a person got my vitals and took us to my room. Then a lot of people came in. One of them was a Child Life Specialist. She let me put some smelly stuff in my mask.

Then I went for a ride on my stretch bed. Then I got to breathe in the stuff when I got to my biopsy room. And then, before you could even blink I was in the wake up room. It was that fast! But, for mom and dad it probably took a lot longer.

    Big virtual hugs to you my GREAT Niece.
