Side effects

Sadie's cheeks are getting puffy.  They're just so cute!  I wish she'd let me kiss them!  Tonight, Dave and I were playing with her and asking if we could give her a hug.  She smiled and pointed to Dave and I....she wanted us to hug each other instead.  "Can I give you a kiss Sadie?"  She pointed from me to Dave.  She wanted me to kiss Dave instead.  Then she smiled.

And her hair is starting to fall out.  Just a few strands at a time.  We find them on her clothes, on her sheets, and she pulls them off her binkie.  "Yucky," she says, and hands me the piece of hair.

Every time I see a picture of Sadie in her little gown I get choked up. She looks so precious.I just want to hug her-- (but it sounds like she would direct me to someone else if I was there to try!) I can't imagine how hard it must be to watch the side effects begin to take place--i.e.losing her hair. I'll never forget the day I helped my dad shave his head.
Gosh- I sure love you guys--you all continue to be in our prayers-- We will especially pray that her numbers go and stay up.
