Yikes...

Has it been so long since I've posted??? Oops... sorry to our loyal fans for the long delay in updating. So, since last week, we have been very very busy. We still have all of our family here, although Aunt Hyster and her crew will be leaving us tomorrow.

We have had a wonderful week of celebration with our wonderful family. Once everyone got here, we planned a cookout in the courtyard here with another family that we have become close to. Nuvy made a special friend with their little girl, and those 2 have played the day away for a few days... and then parted with tears when Nuvy ad to go back to the hotel for the night.

We had a birthday celebration for Gracie and all of the rest of us who have late June/early July birthdays and we had a yummy cake from Ben and Jerry's.... mmmmmm. Our new friends here gave Gracie some wonderful gifts that she has been playing with non-stop... along with the gifts that Mema brought with her from Jimmy's family.

Mommy has been indulging in some much needed sleep while Daddy is here to pick up the slack. Mommy even had an outing with the Kelly crew yesterday to the Mall of America while Daddy and Mema stayed at the RMH with Miss Gracie, who sadly is not allowed to go to the MOA for a while. Uncle Mack, Mommy and Hyster all rode on the Spongebob Rollercoaster in the amusement park and then we all took turns riding with Nuvy on the kiddie rides. Lucky me, I got to ride with her on the Blue's Clues ride.

Today we had to head back to clinic for another round of blood draws. Her counts are holding steady at 7.8 WBC, 5.5 Neutrophils, and her platelets jumped again to 203!!!! Very exciting. We have an appointment with the doctor again on Friday to recap on how we've been doing so far. I hope for another glowing report. :)

Ok, so I owe lots of pictures since it took me so long to post, so I will definately work on it and you can see how well our girl is doing.
