Nina's progress

Nina is doing very well. She had her fifth chemo treatment last Friday. Only vincristine was given, so the side effects are mild. The nurses love her so much. It seems to me that her memory has been improving again lately. Nina had her first night out since she became ill in April 2006, with kids her age recently. She went bowling (although my instructions were for her not to bowl, only watch, like most 20 year old's, she ignored me and bowled any ways). She went with her older sister Amber,and friends, Mark, Stephanie, Chris, and Eric. She left home at 9:30pm and I picked her up at 1:00am. She was so happy!!!! Waiving her hand at me as I pulled up. She got in the car and bubbled over with excitement telling me all the details of her night. Nina also made spaghetti for dinner on Saturday night (she need direction from me). She was so happy. All the little steps to independence make her feel so good. She has also spent lots of time with family lately. Her Grandma is visiting. Yesterday we spent Super Bowl Sunday at her Uncle Johns. Nina had a blast!
