Big day tomorrow

Her bone marrow biopsy is scheduled for 7:30 am. She'll be first out of the dock unless there's an emergency case that comes in overnight. They'll scope her sinuses first, then do the BMB and lumbar puncture. We will hopefully find out she's in remission some time in the afternoon. We'll be on pins and needles until we know -- I can already feel the butterflies. I'll post the result as soon as I'm able.

We had another great day today. Turns out the playroom was open after all, so we went down there about 10:30 for an hour or so. Mina Brigitta walked to the elevators holding my hand, and from the elevators to the playroom. She played with dolls for awhile, then stickers, and did some painting. She even climbed a few stairs! There were several other kids in there; everyone was kind of doing their own thing, but Mina Brigitta was wide-eyed watching the other kids. After an hour or so she wanted "up with dadda" and said she was "all done", so we came back to the room.

Keri and I left Auntie Kari with Mina Brigitta and sent Isaac off with Amber, and then treated ourselves to a sushi lunch and an afternoon in a cafe. We hadn't done those things in a while, and it was really nice to catch up. Then tonight we took Mina Brigitta for another walk in the hall. She's kind of wobbly and appears to be favoring one leg, but has a lot of energy for what she just went through. After being out for a while, she started practically running down the corridor. When we got to the end she was totally out of breath, wanted up, and then buried her head in my shoulder. We think she scared herself a little with how tired she got.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow.
