Report

First, Gwyneth weighs 8 lbs 9 oz! That is, by far, the most weight she's gained in such a short amount of time...her new diet is definitely working!

Tricia's chemo didn't get started until mid-afternoon, and, although it only lasted a few hours (which is much shorter than the first round), she was not able to go to her transplant clinic, so we really don't know anything about her status. Fortunately, Tricia did not experience any side effects during the treatment.

They're on their way home now, and should arrive around 10 tonight. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers today!

  1. Awesome on the weight gain! And cute new pictures, too. I'm sure getting the chemo is made easier by being able to hold Gwyneth!

  6. Way to grow Gwyneth! So happy to hear that her new diet is getting her weight up. Pretty soon she'll be a chubby little bugger.

    It's great to hear that Tricia didn't notice any side effects. I hope it continues that way.

    Have a wonderful evening with your girls!

  8. Holy Cow!!! I will definitely be thanking somebody in my bedtime prayers for that amazing news tonight. Who knew she could gain so much weight in such a short time? I was POSITIVE it couldn't be much over 8 pounds - I'm glad I was wrong!

  15. I've been following your story since a day or 2 before Gwyn's birth and have never commented. Today, however, I feel compelled. My youngest daughter (2 years) was born at 9 lbs. 9oz. Unbelievable that Gwyn is still smaller than some newborns! Pictures make it difficult to see just how tiny she is, she looks like her age, in pictures anyways! I can't imagine how tiny she is in real life! You are truly blessed...(as if you didn't already know that!)
