Maggie seemed to feel pretty well today. Whitney went out with her sister Morgan for a while and Maggie didn't have too much of a fit. She drank a bottle (a rarity for Maggie) and took a nap after playing and reading books for a while. That was nice. She slept almost the whole night last night which was also wonderful. Finally, she still hasn't had any adverse effects from the methotrexate. We'll likely get to go home tomorrow sometime or more likely, Tuesday. Once the chemo is out of her system entirely (measured with blood labs) then we're free to go if all else is good. Then we're back in the hospital no later than Friday for a repeat of this weekend's chemo.

Here is a video of Maggie getting a kick out of her aunt Morgan. She was in such a good mood--while the chemo was dripping into her body, no less. We have to have this same methotrexate 4 or 5 more times at least so we hope it goes well each time. Again, we're kind of expecting mouth sores later this week, but if we avoid that it would be beyond great.
