Quick update

Everything went very well at Hassenfeld today.  Stella's blood counts look terrific--her ANC jumped way up since Monday, so no worries on that front right now.  With the help of the staff there, she also learned a lot more about the MediPort she'll be getting next week.  

Stella looks good and feels good.  She continues to make Michael Phelps' diet look like something off a spa menu, but other than that she's being herself.

She also had her first home instruction session yesterday, which went extremely well.  She seems to like her teacher, who was blown away by how far ahead she is already.  It's important to all of us that Stella is in the third grade next year, and so far there is no reason to assume otherwise.

    This is great news!! Stella's awesome bravery and resilience continue to amaze and inspire me.

    Stella won't have to attend third grade next year--by then, she'll be teaching it!!

    Adam,

    Mine and Carrie's thoughts are with you, your family and especially Stella--she is so brave and obviously so smart.

    I am happy to hear that things went well at the doctor the other day and that Stella likes her home instructor, but I can't wait for you to brag to me how well she is doing in school next year.

    Warmest regards,

    Robert & Carolyn Ritchie

    I read your blog almost daily, Adam. It sounds like Stella's treatment is going well, which is so wonderful to hear. Sharon sends her love too.

    Michael
