Wednesday, April 23, 2008 - It's April vacation, and we've had some beautiful sunny warm days. The cherry blossoms are out, the air smells like spring, and 15 bags of yard waste are waiting for pick up on our curb.
Madeline has another LP (lumbar puncture) tomorrow and maybe a blood transfusion, so we know it's going to be a long day at clinic. She is on the last part of the most intensive phase of chemotherapy and finishing up 2 weeks of 4 days per week Cytarabine and a daily dose of Thioguanine. She is doing so well so far, very stoic about her aches and pains and the chemo side effects, and pretty cheery around our home. We try to make life a little more special when she is going through treatment, and often set up fun things to do with friends or family.
Tonight we met my brother's family for dinner at Johnny Rockets (onion rings!!) followed by a spirited game of Candlepin Bowling at the Woburn Bowladrome. It's tougher than it looks, and so fun... especially when they turned on all the blacklights and everything in the place started to glow! Who won? Mady and her young cousin Carolyn were the high scorers of the evening... beating even the four parents!

Good luck with the stuff you have to do today! I'll send you some good vibes from here.
Our kids love bowling, but unfortunately, as they get older, they can't use the bumpers in the gutters anymore and that really seems to affect their scores. They get super frustrated!

It's so amazing! It sounds like this being the last phase of intensive is good news. We love you for all the good things you plan. And, congratulations to Mady and Carolyn on winning scores at the Glowbowl!XXXXOOOOGP&E

Mady,
I'm learning so much about what's out there through the blog. Glow Bowling? How fun! But it sounds like you would have beat me hands down...without bumpers, I can't hit 100! Keep smiling and enjoying and laughing!
