Happy Easter!

We hope everyone was able to enjoy the wonderful weather this past week and the Easter holiday. We took advantage of the weather and did a little bike riding and fishing this Spring Break.

Maddy had a treatment on Wednesday, and as the doctors predicted, her counts are falling. Her immune system is low and her hemoglobin and platelets are falling. As a result, Maddy has to be more careful to stay away from any germs and she does not have a lot of energy. She goes back for a check up this Wednesday. She may need some blood products to give her a little energy. Then we wait a week and check her counts again. If they are not too low, she will have yet another type of chemo treatment on the 15th. She will have to stay overnight at the hospital for this treatment.

Being able to go outside and feel the sun's warmth and see all the new life blooming has given us renewed strength and has reminded us again that God is good all the time, all the time God is good!

  1. Happy Easter Lamberts! I hope the Easter Bunny was good to the girls.
    Maddy, do you have enough teeth left to eat Easter candy?? Lots of prayers and hugs are with you as you continue to endure this phase of treatment. God bless all of you!
