Francesca's actual birthday was on Wednesday, but we celebrated at home the Sunday before. It's hard to believe that she is 12 now! Does anyone else feel old at hearing this???
Twelve years ago, Francesca surprised us all by arriving in mid November instead of mid December. This year we managed to surprise her with something she's been wanting for quite a while......check out the video to see what she received.
Happy Birthday to You and the Big Birthday Gift
Swimming
And now it's time for a long overdue brag session about Francesca's swimming. Two weeks ago she swam at the National Age Group Championship, a meet she was specifically selected for by her coaches. She turned in another great performance, chopping 4 seconds off her 100 Breastroke, 5 seconds off her 500 Freestyle, 4 seconds off her 100 Fly and 2 seconds off her 200 Individual Medley. She finished in the top ten in all her events, swimming against the "best of the best" from teams in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. Way to go F!
Shall We Stay Another Night?
Carson is still feeling pretty good after his Monday chemo, however; we'll be staying in the hospital at least until tomorrow. The level of methotrexate needs to be less than 0.1% before he's allowed to leave the hospital. Today it was 0.18%. Almost, but not quite good enough.
The next labs will be drawn at 3 AM. For those of you who read this tonight...let's pray the level has dropped.
