Saturday
Erin received platelets today. Yesterday her monocytes (they are part of the ANC) started coming up and we were excited to see that maybe her ANC would start coming up, but then today her monocytes were back down to zero. So, we sort of got our hopes up for nothing. If this hospital stay is truly the average 35 days, then she still has 19 days left here. She is having nightmares (at least we think she is) and waking up crying "no no" in the night. She hasn't had a fever and she seems to be relatively healthy.

I hate hearing about the nightmares. It's not fair that these little ones have to face their reality in their dreams, it's hard enough during the day. It truly breaks my heart. Millie doesn't get them with her lower dose of chemo, but she did on her steroids the 1st month. I would randomly whisper things in her ear about rainbows, butterflies, and unicorns. She loves unicorns. I don't know if it really helped or not, but it made me think that for a second I could help take her mind somewhere better. HUGD! I'll come to visit when Millie's feeling better. :)
