Phase 3 done, now some rest before phase 4

Emily doesn't have any chemo or really any medication to take between today and the 19th, her longest break yet. She is really happy to be home. She didn't eat for 6 days while she was in the hospital so she's really thin, but her appetite is back so she will be fine in a couple days. She really likes her aquarium. She selected 9 fish to start with, 6 neon tetras, a catfish, and 2 Mollies. The female Molly is pregnant, so we are hoping to be able to capture and save the babies in a breeding net.

This week the plan is to take it easy and rest up. The next phase is a tough one on her body. As of now we have 11 weeks to go until maintenance. Emily's birthday is also 11 weeks away. We are getting there one day at a time :-)

Emily,
I am so happy that you are home. The fish you have choosen sound wonderful. Mrs. Smith came up to Country Lane today for the first time since summer break. We hope you will feel up to a visit sometime soon. We are in the office everyday from 8 - 4. Enjoy your new fish and good luck collecting the fishy babies when they arrive. Hoping to see you soon.
