Friends: visiting here and there, plus a bike race

Fun with one of her former nurses who came to visit at home!!! 

Lovin'...she missed these girls!

I'm sure my Aunt Glenda's sorry she missed this!

Bela loving on her old friends

She really seemed to remember her old friends and gave lots of hugs and kisses.

Group shot!

Just chillin'

Santi got to ride in Bela's place AND wear the professional's helmet!  This event was a pre-"pep rally type tricycle race between patients, a doctor, and Tony Cruz, professional bicycle racer.  The main event is Tour of Long Beach in May in which one team will be racing in honor of Bela and raising funds for Johnathan Jaqcues Cancer Center.

Mayor of Long Beach showed up.  

I also want to add her a huge THANK YOU to all who have prayed for Bela and our family!!! She is doing very well: "army crawling", waving, blowing kisses, saying "hi" and "papa" (figures), eating very well and sleeping great and on schedule, and not showing any signs of illness.  All of her blood work came back PERFECT yesterday.  Instead of hearing good, final news yesterday however, we were given another waiting period.  Her doctor sent her bone marrow to the Mayo Clinic for a very sensitive test to detect any chromosome abnormalities.  We will get a call sometime next week. Also, her spleen is still too big so we will be taking her for an ultrasound sometime next week just to make sure that her spleen is the only thing that's in there. We are not expecting bad news but it's still that nagging feeling that we're not "out of the woods" yet.
