Poke!

Both days of chemo injections for this cycle are behind us now. (Yay!)

Tomorrow is a rest day for Talitha. (How appropriate.)

Lots of interuptions during the night so Tali didn't sleep long enough. She had a good long nap today but was still tired when she woke up; surprisingly she fell asleep on the floor mat just minutes after her two hour nap...

Tali is still feeling pretty good but is getting restless not being able to leave the room. (Makes me wonder how we're going to do this for such a long stretch. Guess we'll try not to heap tomorrow's concerns on top of what we have on our plate today.)

Not so easy keeping on a routine when you're not at home. Talitha is pretty good at folding her arms when we pray at meal time and before going to bed. She's even getting in a good "amen" now and again.

She has her own little sense of humor. Today she even got in a little tease about those shots we give her when we're trying to stimulate her blood counts to come up. She was holding a syringe I'd just given her some oral medicine with. She took it and pushed the end into her leg and said, "poke!"

Then she looked up at me and grinned.

I'm grateful for the happy, laugh-out-loud moments. It's all part of the journey.
