I have been meaning to sit down and write this post since Sunday. Sarah has had a loose tooth all of last week. One of the times while she was under for radiation, the nurses tried to see if it would come out, but it wasn't quite ready. On Sunday, Sarah was done having a loose tooth and came and asked me to pull it out. I got some floss and tied a knot around the tooth and pulled it out. She was excited to get the tooth out, but was a little scared of the blood that came. We got that stopped and she was super excited to get a vist from the tooth fairy.

Sarah has had a low grad fever every afternoon since Sunday. We headed to the ER on Monday night to get her blood drawn and see if we needed to be admitted. Because she hadn't hit the threshold (101F) and she didn't have any other symptoms, they let us go home. She had a clinic visit today (Wednesday), and her hematocrit was low enough that she needs a transfusion with a possibility of platelets as well. The doctor did say, that it was common when all the numbers were low that kids sometimes would spike a fever during transfusions. If she does, then we are admitted for a few days. We will see what happens.
Sarah has 2 more radiation treatments and another clinic visit before we start maintenance. From what they tell us, life will be come more normal after this next week. We are looking forward to it. It has been a long year. We are grateful for all the love and support that has been given us. It would have been a lot harder if we didn't have people praying for us and helping out.
