Today was a pretty eventful day. Although Hillary was a little tired the first half of the day, she managed to eat a decent amount of breakfast and lunch. They then did the bone marrow biopsy early afternoon, and she was such a trooper - she said it didn't hurt as much as the first biopsy, but I know it wasn't the highlight of her day. After that she started feeling a little better (the Vicodin couldn't have hurt either), and she wanted to take the scissors and clippers to her hair. She wanted to take pictures, and she really did enjoy having her hair cut. It was a joint effort between Margie, Tom, and myself. It's very, very short - and she will soon realize the benefits of short hair - low maintenance. She said she's looking forward to her first shower and not having to spend 1/2 hr blow drying her hair. We tried on some hats and scarves and she looked great in all of them. She wanted to show her new look off to the nurses - and got raving reviews. She is soo cute with the new hair cut. We did save the hair to donate, which made her feel even better. Then we went for a good walk - even went up the elevators so she could see another floor and the entrance to the hospital. After that, it was mac and cheese and tater tots again... though apparently they want to serve something else tomorrow night - I crossed out the choices they had for tomorrow's dinner to keep with our mac and cheese, but we got vetoed for something else for tomorrow....apparently they want variety in her meals.
Since I get to sleep over tonight, I'm off to watch a little TV with her and get some sleep.
I will update everyone with the results of the biopsy tomorrow - with fingers crossed, prayers, and positive thoughts for the good outcome we're hoping for and expecting.

Hillary! Jen H. just forwarded this link to me. I'm so happy to hear you're in good spirits (as always!) and enjoying the new hair-do. I'll be thinking of you from Philly. At least you get to enjoy the warm weather down at Stanford! Sending a big hug to you and Chris.

Hi Hillary!
Stevie sent a pic of the new do . . .you look so cute, ike a little Mia Farrow! Hey, if you're into good bad reality shows, I have one for you. There is a reality series on WGN or CW or something about finding the next Pussycat Doll. Quite entertaining and great mindless entertainment, I highly recommend it.
We're all thinking about you and keeping you in our prayers. Keep fighting!
Love,
Katie,Tony,Pete, and Mary Kate
