Today Erin turned two years old, in the hospital, while battling Acute Myeloid Leuekmia M7. She is have a fantastic day! This morning 7 nurses and staff came into our room in very silly hats and sang "happy birthday". Then she opened her presents and enjoyed playing with each one. Her ANC is still zero, but her other counts are slowly rising so things are looking good with her. Her blood pressure is still a bit high, but not high enough to require medication. It's been a good birthday for her.
Last night the nurse suggested we put Erin's hair in pigtails so that her hair wouldn't be falling all over the place. When she woke up this morning her hair was in two dreads, it was really gross. I pulled out a pair of scissors and just chopped the pigtails off. I know, it sounds drastic. But, her hair is falling out like crazy. As you'll see in the photos, it wasn't one of my best haircuts. I think we'll celebrate by shaving her head today.
