Package #7 has arrived! Seven swans a swimming has turned into Santa in a canoe (very funny). They like to swim! Yet, another clue. The girls (and parents) wait with anticipation each day to see what is coming next and true to put together the clues to the puzzle. What great fun.

Today was not such a great day for Hannah. She got up at 9am feeling ok. She ate 4 small cookies for breakfast. At noon she asked me to lay down with her, and she napped until 4pm. She ate some ice cream, but refused anything else. Tonight at dinner she was crying, saying her stomach hurt, so we added another medication. She gagged on her pizza, has refused her soup, jello, and is now trying to get down a cracker. She hasn't had a day of eating like this in quite a while.

This morning was her last dose of the appetite stimulant that we have been slowly reducing over time. I hope this trend of eating doesn't continue, I can already see a change in her body from the last week or so. She will definitely not go back on this medicine, but we would prefer if she could eat on her own and not have to switch to another medicine.

Tomorrow is another day, another day further from chemo, and hopefully feeling a bit better.
