Labor Day Weekend

Meant to post this last night...

Not the Labor Day weekend that we had planned, but it turned out pretty good.  We had both Nana's and Grandpa Mike over for the first day.  Uncle Thad even stopped by for awhile!  But the majority of the weekend was trying to get everything back to "normal".

Madeline didn't feel that well until Sunday, but was almost back to "normal" by Sunday afternoon and most of the day Monday.  Was good to see her smiling and laughing like her old self again!  She even ate pretty well Monday.  Hopefully it will get better, but now we have some idea of how long it will take to "recover" after each week 1 treatment.  Five more "week 1's" in our future.

One thing I wanted to mention - if your child hasn't received a text back from her, please let them know that they shouldn't let it hurt their feelings if she hasn't responded.  I think she has been a little overwhelmed by the number of texts she received from friends, and just hasn't felt like responding.  In fact, I'm not sure her phone has moved much in the last week other than when Shana or I have plugged it in for charging.  So she may not have even read some of them yet.  I did see there were a LOT which is so nice.  Great to see how many friends she has out there!  Tell them they don't have to stop!  It just may take her awhile to sort through them.

Off to the clinic on Tuesday afternoon for labs to check her counts, etc.  Should be a quick visit and then back home.
