Lauren is up at CHLA today for her bi-weekly blood test. We've started her GCSF shots on Saturday, hopefully this will help her blood count to go up. This way she'll have more time to have fun before she starts chemo again.

The last few days have been a lot of fun. While she is still a little puffy, she is beginning to look like her old self again, which is nice. And now that she lost 5 lbs, which is half the weight that she gained while on the steroids, she has a lot more energy to run and jump around. She has also been doing a lot of laughing and giggling, just acting like a silly 4-year-old. She has also been laughing and giggling a lot in her dreams, too. To me, this means she is at peace and good things must be going on inside her head. The other night she woke me up (yes, the kids still sleeps with us) when she was giggling in her sleep, while it was 3 am, I couldn't help but smile and be comforted.

Yesterday Lauren met a new friend while at Mc Donalds. A 4-year-old girl with dark and very curly hair came up to Lauren and said she liked her hair, Lauren said, "I like your hair, too." At the time Lauren was kinda shy, but later was very excited she met a new friend. Lauren told Hil that we should put it in her blog that she met a new friend, so here it is.
