Serenity has been eating like crazy lately! The other night she was up every 2 hours asking for something to eat. (This is in addition<\/em> to nursing nearly all night long.) I took a picture of her eating a little bit of everything at 2:00 a.m.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My sister & I were talking yesterday about the fact that Serenity has changed since she got really sick. She has withdrawn into herself, probably as a result of everything she’s been going through. It’s so sad to see, and to think about all the things she would be doing if she didn’t have leukemia. She’s become so skinny, with a huge distended belly, and dark puffy circles under her eyes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After this month she will only get chemotherapy once a month, and she will only have to take steroids when she is doing the chemo. I hope that we will start to see more of the old Serenity when that happens.<\/p>\n

Although it only surfaces on occasion, Serenity still has a sense of humor. While most of the time she looks like this:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When she does something she thinks is funny, we are treated to her smile:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For some crazy reason, she laughs any time someone says, “Don’t blink!” to her. She gets a big kick out of undoing the tabs on her diaper.\u00a0 Sometimes she will try and stick her finger in my nose while we are nursing and when I pull away she giggles. It’s the best sound in the world.<\/p>\n
