Day +43... and the weekend off!

So with yet another round of great lab reaults today, it seems that Gracie has earned us a weekend off. :) We are not required to return to clinic until Monday morning when we meet with Dr. Orchard. This morning's WBC was 8.3, hemoglobin at 10.1, and platelets up again at 32!! Awesome numbers.

In other awesome news, Gracie seems to be getting her appetite back slowly. She has had several bites of sweet peas for dinner over the past few nights and izs managing to keep it all down. WOOHOO! She's also a crazy water drinker (she's still on lots of diuretics) but I have to make her pace herself with it or she will make herself sick... poor baby. I am just so pleased to see her interested in eating again... its just another step back into normalcy for us.

She was pretty tired today and slept quite a bit. As a matter of fact, I had to wake ger up so that we could catch up on our med schedule. She had a bit harder time keeping her meds down today than in days past, but she's still doing so much better with them than I anticipated, so I'm not complaining. I just hope she feels better tomorrow.

Uncle Mack leaves tomorrow until the first of next month and I know that we are going to miss him lots. Gracie especially. :) Noni will be moving in with us here at the RMH which means an extra pair of hands around 24 hours a day. Mommy is hoping that Gracie won't scare Noni away the first night.

We miss everyone so much. Hope you are all doing well.
