This Crazy Life

We may have a period.  It sounds like a crazy thing to get excited about, but at 14.5 years old it’s long past time.  It also is an amazing data point for me, that her body can have a period at this weight.  Now I just need to find out what this weight is.  But it lets me know her body is working and is healing and it’s amazing.  Now as long as it doesn’t totally freak her out and cause her to backtrack I’ll be happy.  She seemed pretty ok with it last night.  But she also likes to hide emotions.  So we’ll see.  And we’ve only been home from treatment for a week.  But hey, this is positive.  For today.  I’ll take the wins when I can get them, no matter how small they are!!  And tonight I’m going to celebrate w/ a craft night with my mom and sister and oldest daughter. 

And it was a false alarm.  And I should know better.  But it’s really hard not to hope.
