Annie is literally chugging along right now somewhere in the Sierra-Nevadas. Her appointment Thursday went well with blood counts continuing in the normal range and two more immunizations under her belt. Soon after that school went on vacation and she and Tom headed off on an adventure.
It has been interesting readjusting to the challenges of a healthy 7th grader. The skills and attitudes necessary for success in that are not all the same, and sometimes at odds, with the ones needed to fight a life-threatening illness. With her medical challenges it was all about keeping jovial and preserving a positive sense of self but now it's more about settling down and doing for others. I was happy to see her reading however not long after I was sent the following video...clearly there is still a lot of mischief in there. Next appointment March 17th.
