Jan 27th Update

We are back in the hospital with Sarah.  We got a call at 8am this morning letting us know that there was a bed available for Sarah and we could bring her in at 9am as we had scheduled before.  We finished getting stuff packed.  We dropped Lilly off at school, and swung by the grocery store before dropping Sarah and I off at the hospital.  We got here about 10am.  We are in room 3273-1.  We are in a shared room since Sarah isn't in isolation.  Her roommate is a 17yr old girl who was diagnosed about the same time as Sarah with a form of lymphoma.  She is almost done with her treatment but has spent most of it in the hospital.  We are grateful for the treatment that Sarah has received and that we haven't had to spend that much time in the hospital.  Though we still have 22 months to go.

Sarah was happy most of the day.  She played with the toys that Jess packed for her, and watched some shows.  Toward the end of the day, you could see the methotrexate effects start to come out.  She got less animated and didn't want to be as active.  Shortly before bedtime, she started complaining about her tummy hurting.  That is usually side effects of the drugs.  Hopefully her body will do good with this dose and we can be out of the hospital by mid next week.

Grandma Pheobe is coming out to stay for a few days and help us out.  We are glad she is coming and grateful for the help.  Thanks for all those who help support us as well.  We feel the love and support and wouldn't be doing as well without it.
