Hope's sweet school friend Ginny (and her lovely mama) sent Hope a fancy pink princess dress with a crown and wand. She has really taken to wearing it this week - and looking at herself in the mirror! She was particularly pleased to see that the dress matches her newly pink toenails (thanks to big sister Celia, her pedicurist).
Today the princess had another spinal tap with chemo, and then one more chemo treatment upstairs in clinic, before being cut loose in the early afternoon. We return tomorrow for a blood transfusion (red blood cells = instant energy booster!). But then, she gets a break. She has a week until her next appointment. Her counts are probably still on their way down for a few more days, and then we wait for her marrow to recover from this month-long onslaught - and then we start all over again.
Its so wonderful to see her smile.
