Jan 29th Update

According to my mother, Sarah woke up at 3:30 this morning and didn't want to go back to sleep.  She was happy though and wanted to play.  She played with Grandma a lot of the day.  She rode the trike twice and play games that Grandma brought for her.   However, she didn't want to eat or drink for Grandma.  Her numbers were encouraging.  Her methotrexate level was .49 and her creatine was .3.  We aren't sure if we will hit the .1 on Monday or not but it should be close.  

This was from before Sarah being admitted, but it was too cute not to post

Jess and I brought the rest fo the family after Gus's nap in the afternoon.  Sarah was just waking up from a two hour nap and was ornery.  She also mentioned some pain in her throat and she developed a little cough.  Later in the evening she spiked a fever, so they pulled some blood cultures and are watching her close.  Hopefully it isn't a sickness...

Sarah had a few visitors today.  She loves when people come to see her and play with her.  Her primary teachers and the primary president came over, as well as one of their daughters.  The gave Sarah some dolls and played a couple games of prettiest princess with her.  She loved it.  She also had another family from the ward come to see her and brought her a finger puppet stage and a balloon.  She wasn't sure about the finger puppets, but she has given two shows to the nurses with them.  I think it will be fun for her.

We are grateful for all the love that is shown to Sarah, as well as the love and support that is given to our family.  We wish we could repay all of you that have shown the spirit of Christ to our family.  We ask the Lord to bless you.
