The Locks are Gone

We are at day +11 and are starting to see some white cells come back. This is a good thing. We are hoping they will all be Marrianas. Simon is doing well. He is completely bald on the back of his head from rubbing on the bedding and this morning I decided to take the scissors to the front of his head. The hair was falling out in clumbs and it was all over both of us and getting in Simons mouth. So mommys barber shop was opened and all the locks were thrown in the garbage. Sad he has tufts of hair on the top and is bald right in the front. He is still a very handsome little guy. His spirits are extraordinary today even though we did not sleep too good. Simon threw up earlier than usual resulting in 1 am bedding change and we were up alot after that with alot of annoyances that come with being in the hospital. I'm pooped today. His platelets continue to be low so he was given another round today. They say expect to see him recieve maybe 2 more doses of that until he can start producing his own. Right now he rests and I'm thinking of walking to starbucks for a wake up mocha. His skin looks good and his g-tube looks worse today but doesn't seem as tender to him so that is a blessing.

Dave took the girls to see happy feet so I hope they all come out of the theatre dancing and showing off their new waddling dance moves. They were so excited to go. Hoping it will lift Daves spirits as well. Say a little prayer for Daves brother Tom who was admitted last night with pneuomnia, get better Tom we love ya.

I just wanted to say that at this time of year when things are so busy but so emotionally stressful its easy to let little things bother you and for you to be angry about them but please try to enjoy those around you and forgive what is aching in your heart. None of us are promised tomorrow so please make the most of every day that you can breath the fresh crisp air and shield your eyes from the blinding winter sun and call or hug or love those that you call family and friends. Life would be so lonely without that. Have a good weekend, lots of love. Say your prayers for Simon to allow Marrianas cells to come back inside him with a vengence and stay there in their new home. God Bless Love Tracy and David.
