tells us different. Miss Dewey came to tutor today. Meg isn’t eating as much as normal, but we are getting there.

    The nurse was supposed to come in the morning, but there was a mix-up so HE came at 12:15 p.m. I was at work so Holly came over to be with Meghan. I called home and Meg thought he was cute and asked if he could come more often. Roswell called around 4:00 while the tutor was here and said Meg’s counts are all good, and she won’t need a transfusion. We were so glad. Meg was especially happy because she could visit with friends again. Mom came over and played cards and stayed the night.

    Meg stayed home and got tons of homework done. She really wants to try to keep up. We didn’t have to do anything tonight. Nick worked and we watched the hockey game.
    Friday, March 13
    Meg felt good again, but stayed home because there is too much sickness around. She went to Courtney’s to watch movies and was home around 11:30 p.m. Mike and I went to dinner. Nick had to work.
    Saturday, March 14
    It was a beautiful day outside. Mike worked around the house, I worked inside, Nick worked, and Meg kind of lounged around. She really is going to have a lot to make up for her seven months of slacking (just kidding). We decided that we would all go to the Boulevard Mall and shop. It’s really hard to shop with four people, but we managed. Meg and Jordan went to a party and Nick picked them up at 11:30 p.m. They came home and were giggling all night.

    It was another beautiful day and Meg felt good. She and Jordan had pancakes, which is a tradition when Jordan stays over. Meg and I went to Target and Kohl’s to finish up a little shopping. Mike went with Sweeney and Mel for a motorcycle ride to the St. Patrick’s Day parade and then to the Log Cabin. Bridget and her mom dropped off a card from the Roy-Hart Junior Class for $1000.00. People continue to be so kind. We all went to bed kind of early.

    Meg went to school for the first time in three weeks. She kind of just listens. Mrs. Budziszewski came today to tutor. Meg gave her a lot of work she completed. She wants to go to school as much as she can this week because she will have her treatment on Friday and probably won’t feel well after that. She also wants to take the Math 8 Exam for New York State. She was tired today.
    Tuesday, March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day)
    Meg went to school again and Miss Dewey came after to tutor for Spanish. After the tutor left, Meg and I went to the high school to watch Donkey Basketball. Mike met us there. Miss Maclam and other teachers played against sixteen seniors. It was the funniest thing ever. Most of the players were wearing Meg’s t-shirts. Meg had a great time.
    Wednesday, March 18
    Meg went to school again today. She feels really good. Mrs. Budziszewski came over to tutor. After she left Olivia came over to do science with Meg. Debbie picked Olivia up around 8:00 p.m. Meg went to bed.
    Thursday, March 19
    Meg went to school again today after the nurse left. She is feeling pretty good. Courtney came over after school and stayed until 9:00. Meg packed for the hospital. We all went to bed early.
    Friday, March 20
    Today is Meg’s fifth treatment. I decided to call at 7:00 a.m. before we got ready to leave, and it was a good thing I did. There were no beds available. They called us back at 11:00 a.m. to tell us there was now a bed available. Meg had to also get an EKG and a MUGA scan before they would start chemo. Everything came back good. They didn’t start chemo until 6:00 p.m. Meg started feeling sick around 4:00. This is common with kids Meg’s age. We are told they sometimes talk themselves into being sick. Meg did well tonight with the chemo; she was just nauseated. She made it all night without throwing up. She just got up a lot to use the bathroom.

    Meg got up for about fifteen minutes this morning and then slept pretty much right
