Spring Break (Day #7)

Besides her eyes still hurting, Maddy had a fairly good day. She actually woke up and was hungry. Of course she wanted her left-over Spicy Italian sub for breakfast! Our old Maddy coming through... She also ate a little lunch and supper- the first time she has eaten all three meals since we got here.

She continues to worry about her shot every day. She pointed out today that the doctors lied to her about it being a "small" shot that would't hurt. She also noticed that her white blood cell count has not gone up at all yet, so she has concluded that the shots aren't working. The doctor tried to explain the process to her, but she later told me she didn't listen to him! :)

We are hoping each day continues to get a little better for Maddy. Now if she could just keep her eyes open for more than a minute without watering and pain. That's the goal for tomorrow.

  1. Hi Maddy, Mom and Dad and Julia,

    I am so glad Maddy had a better day today! Tonight I will pray for eyes that wide open, free of pain and dry! I'll also pray for another good day tomorrow and for those blood counts to start improving! It all takes lots of time. Hang in there!

    Hope to see some of you soon!

    Love, Cindy

  2. Hello Maddy,
    We're checking your blog each day to see how you are doing. Thank you to your Mom for keeping us updated! We are glad that today was a better day and hope that tomorrow will be even better for you!

    Sydney said she is going to make you some brownies to replace the stolen pie...she figured that way you could keep them in your room and they would not disappear!

    Love and prayers from Todd, Christi, Sydney, and Brodie

  3. Hello Miss Maddy,
    We're glad that you had a better day yesterday! We will keep praying for your counts to come up and your eyes to be feeling better! We dropped some cookies off at Carl and Pam's for you and your family (to replace the stolen pie). Make sure to ask your dad for them...we wouldn't want him to eat them all by himself! There's also a little surprise for you coming too! We pray for you everyday! Stay strong and be brave. So many people care about you!

    Love,
    The Hursts
