What a great day yesterday! I not only had a partially Swan free day but I had a visit from my sister Kristie and the cutest children ever - Harry, Kaydence and baby AJ.
Harry said "Auntie, you look weird!" and Kaydence told me all about the time she went to the hospital but they let her go home and they didn't put wires on her. So cute.
Earlier that day I was hanging in my room when the door busts open and an actual miniature pony walks in my room! I wasn't on drugs. Lily is a volunteer who comes to the hospital a few times a year to visit patients. Truth be told...I'm really not a fan of ponies or horses. They are pretty and everything but I had a bad experience in Ireland riding a horse that decided to gallop and I was bouncing around wildly and did my best to stay on. It was terrifying. Anyway, Lilly comes over to my bed and I gave her a quick pat on the nose. Then her owner says "Oh, she wants to kiss you." so I laugh timidly hoping the urge will pass. We don't get everything we want, right? Then the owner says that I need to bring my face closer. OH. NO. WHAT? I was scared Lily could sense I didn't like mini ponies and would bite me, but I do as I'm told…and I got a kiss.
I was too shocked to take a picture when Lily was in my room, but here is her hiney leaving and some guy she was with.


I am blown away that there was a horse in the hospital! Love Kaydence and Harry's reactions.

ReplyDeleteLol @ "I wasn't on drugs" . It is pretty crazy you get random visits from barn animals. And I dislike horses too. Anytime I've been on one I was jerked around. I love these keep them coming xoxo Camille
ReplyDeleteHahaha. wHAT?!!!! I've heard of dogs and loving cats coming to the hospital for healing visits, but a PONY?! In Boston?!!
ReplyDeleteGreat reaction, and great writing shay ;-)
