It's true. Lilly is Seven. Her birthday was last week, and she had her birthday party on Saturday. We went to paint the town and she had 8 or 9 friends come. It was fun seeing them do their paintings. In fact Kim Barlow who brought her daughter decided that her and her husband and Jess and I need to go back and do gravy boats. I will send pictures when that happens.
Sarah got a fever on Saturday night and her and I were in the ED on Saturday night, as well as on Sunday afternoon. She seems to have done better getting rid of her fever. It will be nice once she is off of all the chemo and we can treat her as a normal kid when she had a fever. Jess and I realized what a warped sense of reality we have. It is no problem just taking our kid to the ED. No stress about it. I think Sarah has been to the ED more than I ever have. It is also tells a lot when you recognize a good portion of the ED staff, and worse when they recognize you and say "you're back?" and worse even still when they remember specific things about the diagnosis, like Sarah's port not working well. Such is the life we are living.
I am leaving with a number of pictures and a video from the birthday party, and one of Jess from a date night at a Korean BBQ place with the Barlows.
Happy (last month) birthday, Lilly! I just reminded myself that you guys are still living the crazy life, and Sarah is still in treatment. It's really crazy when the madness seems normal.
