Happy 20th Birthday Sarah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May 23, 1992 at 3:24pm my beautiful baby girl arrived via c-section, after more than 24 hours of labor!! She shares her birthday with her cousin Nicole, twins, 8 years apart. This is also the day that Aunt Donna graduated from college. Today we are celebrating at the hospital, the nurses have been wonderful, they gave her balloons, 2 penguins and a cake! Greg ate most of the cake even though it wasn't chocolate. Sarah received lots of cards and well wishes. We decorated the room with her cards, it makes it so much more cheerful. Although Sarah is not at all happy about being back at RWJ for her birthday, she has a lot to celebrate. Cancer treatment done, stem-cell transplant done, no fever for almost 24 hours, blood counts good, today's cat scan, X-ray, MRI, and ultrasound all good!! One more special MRI tonight, if the results are good, hopefully all possible complications will have been ruled out and we will be able to go home, for good this time! Zen left tonight after dinner, and I am here to stay; Sarah and I are anxiously awaiting the season finale of American Idol, even though we each like a different contestant. All things considered, it has been a good day. Happy birthday Sarah, stay strong, be brave, keep fighting, you have many more birthdays in your future. Maria:)
