Down and Out

It seemed like this week was VERY long. It started out pretty good- Maddy felt well and was able to Skype with her class and get a few other things accomplished. We knew her counts would be dropping, so we tried to pack in as much as possible early in the week. By Thursday, she had bloodwork and all her counts were way down. Russ and Maddy took a trip to the hospital for transfusions Thursday evening and didn't get home until 1:00 AM. Maddy felt pretty miserable all day today. She was tired and had lots of aches and pains. She doesn't have much energy at all. Her immune system is wiped out, so we have to watch for infections. Our goal is to stay out of the hospital this weekend!
