A normal day for Shelby. She watched some televison, checked out the website and sent out some emails. She caught up on all of the messages in her guestbok. She made lunch for us. And helped her mom clean the house. She went over her dads house at 7 pm and hung out with Dad,Shannon and Justin.
Day 31
New Years Eve 2004
Unfortunately, Shelby had to go back to the hospital for an unexpected visit. Shelby WBC count is low and she was getting a low grade fever. Fever's are very bad for her at this stage. Bart had to take her to the hospital about 1:00 am She will probably be there for 3 days. Not a good way to start the New Year, but Shelby is taking it in stride. We picked up some Chicken Parm from Carmine's (from Tropicana's The Quarter)and are bringing it up to her so she can have a decent holiday meal. Anything to keep her mind off the hospital stay.

Day 35
January 4, 2005
Holidays are over and her counts are normal. It's time to go back to the mainstream! Shelby eagerly went to school today. She had to receive "special" permission to wear hats in school and her classrooms. This attracted much attention, kids were not use to seeing that.
