Ruthy spent the day enjoying the warm weather before the storms rolled into the area. We made homemade ice cream - cherry vanilla!! Yum yum. Ruthy and Colleen helped make potatoe salad and deviled eggs. We also rolled out Ruthy's little pool in the back yard. She had a blast --- sorry for all the pictures. We took tons of her playing in the pool. She is growing up so fast.
We had to wear mask to protect the children who were recieving chemo treatments. Also a precautionary measure against Swine flu. 
We were able to take the mask off once we got to our little room. We got some great news the new medicine Colleen in taking is doing its job! Her platelet count is 144,000!!!!!! Her count hasn't been this high -- well never. The highest number we have heard since first grade was in the 90's. A few more test like this and Dr. Bayliff will feel comfortable saying that she is in remission. She has no restrictions now!!!
