Maddy came to the hospital on Thursday for a bone marrow aspirate and to start the second month of induction treatments. She was supposed to have 4 chemo treatments twelve hours apart and then come home. However, she spiked a fever on Friday night so the doctors ordered cultures and antibiotics. Maddy has also slept almost continuously and not eaten since Thursday, which is not like her at all. Maddy is ready to go home, but the doctor was just in and said her counts have already started to drop. Maddy needs a blood transfusion and we are going to try to get her to drink some Ensure or Boost to get her energy up. She also still has a fever. Most likely, we will be spending another night at the hospital. Unfortunately, she also has to do this all again on Thursday...
The sun shining through the window this morning reminds us though that there are better days to come.
Our family is sending prayers for those better days. I wore my ABC 4 Maddy yesterday and several people commented on it while I was shopping. There are many people praying for more sunny days for you! Keep the faith!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your updates. Really helps me to pray specifically. Love to all of you.
ReplyDeleteWow, rough few days for Maddy. Glad she is able to sleep through a lot of it. Praying that the fever will go away and she can get home soon and that her appetite will come back so you can be the "short order cook!" Will continue to pray!
ReplyDeleteLove you guys!

Maddy here is a joke for you and your Dad:
Q. What do you call a man who rolls in the leaves?

Get a lot of rest, beg for some good food and get better so you can come back to Archbold. You are loved by soooooo many people.
Love,
