Work in Progress

Last night's chemo compounded with the previous three nights made for a long, uncomfortable 12 hours. Today Madeleine received another blood transfusion and a vitamin infusion that will help her recover from this last chemo drug.
Tonight she's doing amazing! She's kicking A LOT, and playing :) looks like she's trying to roll over from back to tummy! Daddy & I were saying how we can't believe some of her exciting milestones such as rolling could very well be here at the hospital if not delayed. Another indication she's feeling better is that she wants her pacifier. The last few days either it didn't taste good or her mouth hurt but she didn't want it at all which is unusual for her.
The kitty she's holding is a gift from the local Evelyn Grace Foundation, a foundation that provides an "Evie's Bundle of Joy" basket of age-appropriate toys and goodies that have been VERY useful. Please consider them for your next tax-deductible charity!!
