We have had some wonderful, uneventful weeks this month. Hannah has felt really good and life has even felt normal! Hannah had a good appointment. All of her blood work and labs were just where the doctors want them. It was such a relief to go into her appointment and have no concerns. We do not take the good days for granted!

This is Hannah waiting to go back for the appointment. That sweet volunteer in the background is almost always there on Fridays to do crafts with the kids as they are waiting. This makes such a difference to distract Hannah from being nervous about being there.

Have I said lately how amazing the nurses are at this hospital? This is the room where Hannah gets her dreaded finger prick. Hannah wanted her doll, Dorothy, to get checked out first and this nurse is always so kind and patient. She did everything to the doll before doing it to Hannah. 

Hannah's hair is finally long enough for a bow! Most of the nurses will come in and "pet" her head because her hair is so soft. Eric and I tease her that we want to keep it this length forever (with it being short, she looks younger and we're not ready for her to grow up). She says, "No! I'm going to let it grow as long as Rapunzel's hair - all the way past my feet!"

Can you believe she's gotten so much hair back after just a few short months? It's hard to believe that it was only Christmas when her hair looked like this:
