Sierra Update

Sierra went to California this past week for a biopsy. Unfortunately she got a 1B. Since June of 2008 she has gotten a 1A. Meaning that she has had some white blood cells lurking around her heart, but not doing anything. 1B means that the cells have changed, they are a little "plumper" and "inflamed". So, we are a little bummed with the news. we were really hoping we could do the 'zero' dance. They are going to switch her medicine and make a few changes. Then we return to California in 6 weeks for her next biopsy.

While she was there, she participated in a study on short term memory loss in patients with transplants. She got drilled all kinds of questions most of the day and definitely earned a reward.

Before her biopsy, the girls had some friends over for a tea party. It was a lot of fun and Hunter (aka "Bob") was the server. It was just too cute.

Looks like Bob had a promising career as a waiter? Thanks for the update on Sierra.

What the heck are you doing posting on your birthday? Did you spend the morning in bed reading a good book and eating bon-bons, then have a perfect, workfree day with a superclean house and angel children and then off to a romantic dinner?
