Those Lazy, Hazy, Days of Summer

Joy's days are getting more relaxed--or, rather, her nights. She no longer has to give herself daily IVs of magnesium in the evening--she's been upgraded to pills. Yea! A great relief. Along with this improvement, Joy also gets to enjoy all the fresh summer fruits and veggies, previously forbidden. (Pull out your baby spinach, avocadoes, and poppyseeds! Joy has the best recipe for spinach salad with poppyseed dressing.)

Meanwhile, Joy still receives transfusion every one or two weeks while she waits for her red blood cell production to kick in without any glitches. Other than that . . . the waiting game remains the same. We'll be sure to update the blog as soon as anything changes. Thank you for all of your love and support!
