Pre-radiation

R and Dad pre-radiation. Everything is going according to plan so far.

On The Road

On the way to Philly...exactly two miles from home. : )

Drinkin'

Raina's appetite is slowly coming back. We are having trouble getting her to drink anything but chai tea though. Really! Pedialyte, milk, juice, water, nutrition shakes, they all get rejected. I suppose there are worse problems to have given the circumstances!

Out for a Walk

Out for a no kidding walk today!

Raina is still not feeling well but she smiled today for the first time in a week. Progress!

On the Comeback Trail

Raina is finally starting to feel better after a week long stay in the hospital. Here she is this afternoon inspecting mom's cinnamon scone after having a few bites.

Dad's Sign

Raina has a cold this week and is not permitted to leave her hospital room (to prevent her from getting other kiddies sick). The staff added signs outside her door, so did her dad.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. Tough raising those little hellions, eh!

Here's little V and Mom getting some quality time in the hospital yesterday. Penny snoozing in the background...

Under the Weather

Raina isn't feeling well this week. We're hoping for a swift recovery!

Dad, Penny and Raina after a procedure yesterday.

Socializing

Raina making new friends at CHoP.

Philly!

Raina playing with all the fantastic toys at Children's Hospital of
Philadelphia while we wait to meet the team.

Race

Raina and Penny snoozing through the Race For Hope.

Racing For Raina

Warming up for the race!

Fashion Statement

Dad totally flaked on uploading this awesome picture... so here's the
belated post.

Raina's quick-set nailpolish or whatever Mom applied before starting
chemo earlier this week. Too cute.

Snacking

Raina watching some TV while munching pretzel sticks.

Round 3

Kicking off Round 3 today with some playtime and Cheerios, of course.

Playtime

...and playing catch with Uncle Jon. Busy day!

Backpack

Raina in the backpack with Mom going for a walk today.

Easter Basket

Happy Easter!

Raina had a great time this morning hunting for Easter eggs and her Easter basket. The Bunny brought a bunch of good stuff.

Here R is after brunch with Ashlyn this morning, relaxing...

Lunch
