Life After DINKs...

Monday, 20 September 2010

We have Elle's planned schedule. Sunday, October 10, we fly down to UCLA. Monday, they run various tests, and Tuesday, Elle will get her bone marrow extraction and CVC (central venous catheter) to receive the chemo and transfusion. On Thursday, she will receive the chemo, and the following Monday, Oct. 18 she will hopefully be transfused her new and improved stem cells. After that, it is a wait and see game and pray for her health.

So, I thought I had a great idea and buy us all matching pajamas. It ended up being a little weird, but still kinda funny.

Last weekend, Fernando came down with Elle in the morning, and her eyes were goopy from a blocked tear duct. I asked if he washed her face, and he replied "No, I am a bad Dad. I guess I could just say 'No, I am a Dad.'" Oh the start of a typical Saturday.

Great family pic! Not funny... CUTE! Gawd, Elle's gotten big quick. I shouldn't really be surprised--Eli's growing awfully fast as well and they'll probably track closely given their close birthdays. I'll have to contact you in late October to get the families together and see how Elle's doing with the treatment. Fingers crossed!!!
