Who's loosing their hair?

We believe Eden's hair is starting to grow back already! Yeah!!! Although it's hard to tell if it will stay or continue to grow. It may be due to the break in chemo that she involuntarily had for a couple weeks. Eden is convinced her dad is also on chemo, as she points out that I too am loosing hair up top. It's interesting how her play often involves her "Chemo Duck" - a gift from the Child Life Services at the hospital. Eden enjoys hooking Chemo Duck up to the chemo injecting syringe and uses her stethoscope and ear thermometer to check Chemo Duck's vitals. Just tonight, she was pretending to put cream on mommy's back, just like the nurses do prior to the dreaded lumbar punctures.


We're very thankful that Eden's been so healthy throughout her treatment thus far, and we'd like to think that all our precautions have paid off. It's apparent that Eden has become accustomed to this new lifestyle, as she reminds anyone that visits our home to wash their hands and she keeps her own hands clean in her own little kitchen sink.


This round of treatment will have us going up to the University Hospital for the next three weeks. Each week involves out patient treatment on Wednesdays, oral meds morning and evenings, nystatin mouth swabs three times daily, and 3 chemo pokes in the leg each week from home.

Thanks for the continual prayers for our little girl.
