Day #21

Total White Blood Cell Count = 200  : )

Maddy continues to have fevers during the night.  Right now, the doctors still have her on two different types of broad range antibiotics.  Maddy's spirits were a little down today along with her Dad's.  Now the doctors are saying it could take 29-35 days from her first treatment on March 17th for her counts to recover (up from the 20-29 days they told us originally).  That puts us at the hospital until some time next week.  I hope today is the start of the upward trend.

  2. Dear Dorothy, Russ, MADDY and JULIA,

    Maddy, here is an Easter joke:
    Why didn't the egg cross the road?
    Go to the end of the message for the answer.

    You are all so blessed to be the wonderful family you are! I know there have been way too many rough days the past 3 weeks. As you wait and wait, as you seek guidance, wisdom and clear answers during the coming weeks/months please know there are many people far and near praying for you. I'll pray tonight that today is the beginning of an upward trend! I will pray that you can find rest and find peace that totally passes understanding.

    Hang in there!
    Love and prayers, Cindy

    The backward answer to the joke is:
    !tey nekcihc a t'nsaw eh esuaceB.
