T+407 "I Like Cousins!"

It's been ages since I posted, but you know that no news is good news.  Last Saturday the Bower's and the Beckerman's arrived to spend a few days with us.  And we had a blast!  Torie loved seeing everyone and especially loved swimming with them.  She had so much fun swimming and splashing and playing.  This was the first time she's been able to play with kids since we left Minneapolis and our friends at the Ronald McDonald House.  She had a smile on her face and laughed the whole time we were with them.  I was taking her home to Lexie's and she said, "Mama, I like cousins!"

Unfortunately, all good things must end, and they all went home to Arizona Wednesday.  Torie has been talking about Chase, Makinley, Brielle, Cooper, Auntie Heather, Auntie Erin, and Uncle Jason non-stop.  Uncle Colby wasn't able to join the tour, and we can't wait to see him next time.

Torie is down to 15mg of Prednisone every other day, and she's doing great with it.  Her last hemoglobin was 13.3, and her weight is down to 17.6...that's more than 2 pounds less than she was.  She is full of energy and she runs all day.  And we couldn't be more pleased with this Vic-Torie!
