Day #13

Still waiting...with a smile today. Total White Blood Cell Count= 200

On a positive note, the doctors allowed Maddy to get disconnected from the IVs today. All the medication that she is currently getting is in pill form. This makes getting around a little easier. Maddy was also able to Skype for a short time today. She was glad to see all of her classmates. Dad is now the meanie making her do school work!

    Hooray for no IV poles! That, for sure, is a taste of freedom. I'm so excited to read that you got to Skype today- that is great. My Sunday School class of around 30 women began praying today that your white blood cell count would go up soon and that these neutrophils would especially start skyrocketing! Be a warrior Maddy- keep fighting. You and your family are loved and prayed for by many. ~The Warners

    Hip! Hip! Hooray! No IV's! That is such good news. Miss Hurst told me the whole class was excited to see you on Skype today!!! She told me you were all smiles. Hopefully I can pop in and say 'Hi' sometime soon. Hoping and praying that those blood counts get moving a little faster in the right direction. I'll tell my friends to pray too!

    Hang in there! Keep up the good work! :) Love, Miss Heckel

    See you soon! Lots of Love, Miss Heckel
