Daily shots and blood tests. Her white blood count has dropped to 0 and her hemoglobin is low - there is a chance she may need to get blood at some point. She is really tired, but the throat junk is really the worst part from what I can gather. They have tried several different things and when I talked to her this morning, Aunt Nancy was going to pick up something else to try. She has a good attitude but I think she is more than a little upset with the throat issues. She has a good perspective - "...I just need to get through the next few days..." but it's still hard to know that she is having pain. She has also been using her nausea pump a few times every day which seems to mostly keep that at bay.
Prayer Requests:
* Please pray for something to work on the indigestion/reflux or whatever it is in her throat - quickly. One of the problems they see is people getting dehydrated because their throats and/or mouths have problems. We really want her to be able to avoid dehydration. She also obviously needs to eat well to keep her energy up and give her body the things it needs to heal.
* Please continue to pray fervently against anything that would attack her body as the next few days she will be very susceptible with no white blood cells.
* Please pray for her spirit to be encouraged. Thank you to anyone who has sent cards or goodies, everyone knows it makes you feel better just to know others are thinking of you and praying for you!
Praises:
* Although things are a little rough right now, none of this is really a surprise to the doctors. Again we are thankful for medical progress and the treatments that are preventing things from being worse.
* Big praises that she is continuing to be able to be at home and not in the hospital.
* Advance praise that this is going to be worth it because it will put her in remission for a really long time!
And because this isn't the happiest post ever... pics of my girls :)
