Rachel started another round of high-dose methotrexate last night. Today was Caitlyn’s birthday (17!); Alyssa, Nick and Caitlyn all stopped by the hospital to visit. I bought some yummy cupcakes from East End Cupcakes in Portland and we celebrated her birthday in the hospital, opening presents and whatnot. One lucky nurse got to hide out in Rachel’s room and enjoy one of the extra cupcakes with us. 🙂

Rachel was pretty exhausted all day today – couldn’t keep her eyes open again.
