PICU of Dreams

If you were to enter Tehilla's PICU room right now, you would find it challenging to find the medical equipment. This is the story of how today brought endless smiles to our brave heart princess.

It started with Tehilla's Abuelo visiting and bringing her a magnetic sketching toy and an enormous Hello Kitty balloon bouquet.  Tehilla immediately started playing and even starting using her arms more and moving around.

Next, Aunty Sarah gave her two presents. One was a kaleidoscope and the other was princess jewelry and crown. Tehilla was so happy getting dressed up.

The hospital staff couldn't get over the smiling princess in the hospital bed. Aunty Sarah also brought sushi for us. Tehilla immediately asked for some and we got the all clear, matched with many laughs, to give her sushi.

20 minutes later, a delivery man came with an even larger Hello Kitty balloon bouquet, with a Hello Kitty doll on top from Amy and Jonathan!

The doctors and nurses were so stunned and couldn't stop joking about the Hello Kitty palace that we have created in the PICU.

Thank you for everything that everyone made, sent, did, wrote and contributed in any way. Tehilla's spirits are being lifted and her road to recovery is going more smoothly because of it.

  5. What an amazing recovery Tehilla is making. Before these amazing pediatric heart surgeries were developed--back in the 1960's--I can remember a child in our neighborhood who had heart problems and there was nothing doctors could do about it. She walked around, but couldn't run or play, and her skin was always slightly blue. What a contrast to healthy-looking little Tehilla! Today as I pray for her, I am thanking HaShem for the medical advances that have made her life possible, and for the doctors who have the courage to operate on hearts the size of a walnut. Baruch Hashem!
