Maddy had a pretty good day today. She slept a lot of the morning. Her blood counts are so low that she does not have a lot of stamina. She received another blood transfusion this afternoon and it seemed to give her a little energy- she was able to do a little school work, read, and paint a picture frame from the playroom. The chemo is starting to affect her eyes (dark red circles around them)- she might need to borrow some of Mom's concealer! Maddy is getting a little stir crazy already. It's hard to not get bored being stuck in a 10x15 room. Her third chemo treatment is just about done. One more to go and then Maddy has to get a deep muscle shot followed by daily shots to beef up her white blood cells. Maddy is not looking forward to the shots- we may need some more of that "happy medicine". Then we just have to wait for her counts to recover so we can come home. We are praying for no fevers or infections during this time!
P.S. We didn't find the pool today, but we will keep looking!
Will certainly pray for no fevers or infections this time! Can see why Maddy isn't looking forward to shots! Will pray that goes ok. Might as well not look for the pool.....it is Ohio and we are all still here and it is cold! Many of our friends are headed to warmer climates! Hang in. See you next week sometime. Will be in touch!
ReplyDeletePraying for you all,

PRAYING, PRAYING, PRAYING along with many, many other and will not quit! I am so thankful that today was better than yesterday. I am anxious to see that picture frame -- Maddy is creative and has always liked projects Hope everyone can get some rest tonight. If there is anything you need just let me know! Love and Prayers, Cindy
