Celia not ready for next step

Although Celia is in much better spirits, her blood tests on Tuesday showed that she is more neutropenic now than ever before so the lumber puncture and next round of chemo didn't happen as planned yesterday which is actually a relief as I hadn't realised it will be another 8am to 6pm full day procedure. I will be mentally prepared for it next week so fingers crossed it goes ahead as I don't want her to fall too far behind in her treatment.

At home Celia has been her creative self again. She is never without a pen in her hand and as you can see anything can act as her canvas!
It has taken a while but she now draws herself as bald (she is second from the left in below picture). For weeks after she lost her hair she would draw herself with long hair down to the ground and then she would laugh and say "silly me - I forgot I have no hair!"

Mabel started crawling and cut her first 2 teeth on Saturday. It is hard to believe that this time last year I was admitted to hospital for almost 3 months thanks to complications with my pregnancy - now she is causing trouble of a whole different kind which reminds me, I must get that stair gate sorted!
