Chicago

We are in Chicago. We left yesterday afternoon thinking that we would arrive in Chicago after 5 hours of traveling, but Maggie got a bit impatient after 2 hours, so we had to take an hour break at McDonald's to regroup. She did fairly well in the car after our stop (thank you Aunt Judith & Dallas for the Totoro movie-- it was a lifesaver), but we had our moments of craziness. As we arrived in the heart of Chicago, Maggie decided to have a pooping episode all over the car seat, while Andy wasn't sure where to go. It was a bit chaotic and wild while Maggie told me she was going more and Andy was asking me to look at the map. I had one of my moments, to say the least. Finally around 8:00 pm or so, we made it to our hotel in downtown Chicago.

Maggie has been doing fairly well. As of late, I have noticed her acting a bit more lethargic-- laying her head on my shoulder, on the ground, and even napping in her stroller today after awaking 3+ hours after sleeping. I worry, wondering what it could be. It's a luxury to not have her counts checked this next week, but with that comes a bit of worry, wondering what her counts might look like and whether they could be causing this behavior.

We are trying to push food on her, though she just isn't very interested. I did get her to eat a bit this afternoon- she had 2 Ho-Ho's. Fairly good on the calorie end, but not the healthy end. Please pray that she eats and drinks enough to nourish and hydrate her body. Also, please pray that we will have a wonderful vacation with no surprises or trips to the hospital. Pray that Maggie remains healthy and that her cancer is completely gone.
