Platelet girl again!!

This child is totally amazing.  Every time I think her platelets are going to be low, she completely surprises me and makes more of her own.  Callie's platelet count was 43,000 today, up 8,000 from two weeks ago!!!!!  I mean, we knew she would eventually grow out of needing platelet transfusions and eventually start producing her own, but I had no idea she would start this quickly :)  There is always the chance that her platelets can go back down again, but hopefully she is on an upward trend that will last for a long time.

Callie has also successfully survived her two month shots.  I think I now know the name of every nurse at the pediatrician's office, since we were there four times last week.  She didn't cry too much when she got each shot, and fell asleep on me while we waited for the nurse to come back after 15 min. and check on us.  She has one more shot tomorrow and then hopefully we won't have to go back to the pediatrician's until her four month check up.

Callie is still laughing a ton.  I discovered that she is very much her father's daughter because she gets the biggest kick out of me making fart noises with my mouth :)  She's been talking pretty much all day today and even started squealing.

Scott is still surviving Japan.  He says the workouts are a little long, but he is adjusting.  He threw his first bullpen the other day and it went well, so that is good.  They had an off day today so he went golfing with the other American players.  Callie and I are still surviving without him, but I can't wait until we get to go over there.  Scott got to visit our apartment and he says it is really nice.  They even had a crib in Callie's room already, so it looks like we will be taken care of pretty well.
