Stella made her scheduled visit to Hassenfeld yesterday, and we were happy to learn that her blood counts bounced back up to normal. Dr. Carroll said that she looked "great." We agree. Throughout the treatment, which included a higher methotrexate dose than last time, Stella was a champ as usual. She even let a different nurse (Natalie, her favorite, was unavailable) access the port.
The playroom at Hassenfeld is the last place we would have expected to be watching President Obama's inauguration, but that's where we were yesterday. It was quite pleasant, and there was an endless supply of Doritos and mini doughnuts. In other Inauguration Day news, Zoe got to rock her Obama T-shirt, which was greeted by cheers at
Buckle My Shoe. But we're not sure if Zoe has a future in the cutthroat world of politics, since she keeps asking questions like, "Is John McCain sad?"
