Haley’s Giggle

Helloooo! This is Haley, and I have some updates for you all.

Today I played in the dirt for the first time– It was awesome! I got to crawl around and Mom didn’t have to purell me or anything! Until now, I wasn’t able to even touch dirt because of all the mold and fungus in the soil, but I’m a strong girl with a fully functioning immune system. Of course this means more laundry, but given the fact that they should be covered in food stains, I think I’m being pretty good.

Speaking of food, I found a food I really like. No, it’s not cheese. Wanna know what I think of cheese? yuck. What I really like are tortilla chips– I had two of them today….yummy! I’m still not eating a whole lot, even though they keep lowering my Tacro (a word I can now say, though I can’t wait to have it out of my vocabulary completely). I basically still live on LIfe cereal and milk, and of course Grammy’s chicken soup with Matzo balls. I’m being asked to try a lot of things, like I’m the judge on Iron Chef.

So, I play in dirt, and I’m eating tortilla chips. But wait! There’s more! As if those two updates aren’t enough, I can now walk while only holding onto one hand! Ok, I don’t do it all of the time, but I can do it!

A HUGE hooray to Josh in New Zealand for getting in his platelets! It’s so fun making your own platelets! Congratulations, and thanks for sending me all those pictures– you look great!

Love and hugs to Dave in New York. And a big request to anyone in the New York area who can get to Sloan Kettering and donate blood and platelets for him.

OK, OK, my bracket is blown– no UCLA, no UNC. It’s Memphis v Kansas, and I hope it’s a better game than the two blowouts tonight.
