3 West Bound

Sierra is doing phenomenal. She has her picc line and one IV in with nothing attached. She will be going in for her first biopsy today at 3ish, where they will take out her picc line. IF her numbers and everything look good after her biopsy, I am not sure what will be holding us here in the hospital. She could very well be discharged in the next couple days.

Her last chest tube came out yesterday and was very painful. Her appetite is back and with steroids it will be even better. She is not very excited for the lovely prednisone cheeks,  but they will only last 6 months at the most. I on the other hand,  an excited to have a "teenager" on steroids and all the wonderful mood swings that will come with it. Fun times ahead!

Jason went back to Oregon with his parents yesterday. We will miss him, but know he has a lot of work piling up at home.

We couldn't be happier with how well everything is going.  We are truly blessed and so greatful to the donor family and for their precious gift. We are as greatful to them as we continue to be for the first family.

Dr.  Axelrod just came by to check in and the girls talked him into painting his fingernails. They painted them red and white to go with his "Where's Waldo" shirt. What a great doctor.

I'm afraid my heart would do all kinds of pitter patter with that handsome, young doctor!

Keep it moving forward, Sierra! Doing great and looking great!
