Day 9, Chemo Round 5 :: Play Date


While Jade and I miss her brother terribly, she found some friends to help pass the time this round... including her very own "twin," who celebrates her birthday on April 7th (the day after Jade's).   Jade and three-year-old Madison took to the halls this week -- in matching headbands (unplanned) and sunglasses -- after meeting up with Madison's older brother and the three younger brothers of another brave transplant patient in the art room. To say that there were beads, feathers, paint, crayons, markers, and dominoes everywhere would be a bit of an overstatement, but I do think I may have heard an audible sigh of relief from the Art Therapist when lunch time arrived and the children filed out of the art room and into the halls. 

Brave girls and super sibs. 
We thank you for keeping Jade in your thoughts and prayers, and ask that you add Madison, who is scheduled for a stem cell transplant any day now, to your prayer lists as well. Unimaginable bravery...   

Jade's counts today:
Hemoglobin: 9.1
Platelets: 88
ANC: 90
