Sunday, July 20th, 2008 - I apologize for not posting in quite some time. The construction upheaval at our house has disrupted our circadian blogging rhythm. To those of you who check this site regularly, thanks for sticking with us!
In the last post, I promised a picture of Mady's newly-growing-in hair. It's been hard to get because I really don't see her often since I'm still here in Belmont and my family has wisely opted to live away from the construction zone. Plus, our only working camera has been packed away in our effort to protect our belongings from construction dust. Well, I finally found the camera and I saw Mady this weekend, and here's the hair shot, taken about 4 hours ago:
Right now, if memory serves me correctly, it looks almost exactly the same as the day she was born (minus the coating of amniotic fluid, of course). (perhaps I can find that picture to post for comparison... hehe)
It's sooo cute, and although hair sometimes might fall back out during the Maintenance Phase, it typically stays in and keeps growing. I believe she hasn't worn her wig in weeks.
Her cough is completely gone, by the way, and last Friday she finally had a successful lumbar puncture (for the required periodic dose of chemo into her spinal chord and brain). The last two times the doctors had attempted it they were unable to penetrate her apparently-titanium-encased spine. I was about to offer my diamond-encrusted high-speed drill bit set, but it wasn't needed. :-)
All is going well. Thanks again for all the well-wishes, prayers, and positive thoughts directed our way... They seem to be working. --t
Day 315: Didn't you say something about a picture of Mady's hair?

Mady, you look awesome. The pixie cut (well maybe not a 'cut' as such, but you know what I mean!)is strikingly beautiful and you have such good colour in your cheeks. So glad to read how well you are doing.
Take care kiddo!
