Shania just keeps on smiling :)

Shannon and I just got home from emerg at Sick Children's Hospital, Shania was admitted tonight to start on a anti-viral IV drug for the Shingles. This all started last night when Shania came to us when she was going to bed, and said that she had a bump behind her left ear. We took a look, and it looked like small blisters similar to poison ivy. So Karen called Dr Baruchel and he said to take her to our family Doctor to be checked out there just in case she had something contagious and might spread it to other immune compromised children at Sick Children's Clinic. Our family Physician Doctor Mingi said that she thought that it looked like Shingles to her and she relayed this to Dr Baruchel. Which he then in turn said to bring Shania down there to be admitted for this anti-viral drug. Emerg is the only way that they will admit you into a room and they said that she would be admitted to floor 7B. But while we were waiting for her to go from a emerg room to 7B, Shania decided to read us her Hillary Duff book and as she read the book, she was acting out the story as she went. At one part in the book she stopped reading and started to make a funny face and moving her lips all around at us. We asked her what this part meant, and she said that this was sucking face(:kissing:) oh man we started laughing and just couldn't stop giggling after that. We are hoping that the Shingles might be what are causing her to have these knee pains, but we will find out from the PET scan tomorrow and MIBG on Thursday if it is the cancer that has returned or not. Karen is staying at the Hospital tonight and we should know more tomorrow about what is going on.
I do believe in Shania I do I do !!!
Shayne,Karen,Shania&Shannon.
