OUR JOURNEY

This is our family's journey- the story of our daughter's fight with cancer. Along the way, we will have some tears, lots of love, and even more prayers going up to heaven. We know that our Heavenly Father is aware of us. We know that he will help us fight, fill our hearts with peace, and send angels to give us aid. We send praise to HIM. Join us in this battle. This battle of courage, determination, and most of all faith in God that all is well and will be well.
This is where I will record my feelings- raw, real, and unfiltered. Welcome all.

HOME and STEROIDS

Last weekend, we spent it at the hospital.
Fever, antibiotics, and the go around.
Her ANC was ZERO!
Which we were told to plan on staying until her counts started going up.
But amazingly enough, since our princess didn't have a fever at all,
the entire time we were at the hospital,
the weekend doctor send us home.
He said that it was up to me, as long as I was comfortable
since her counts were nonexistent right then.
I was more then comfortable and away we went.
Sunday afternoon we were home.
Another miracle.
Another blessing.
Tuesday, we had outpatient up at Primary's.
Evalette's regular doctor was surprised that Evalette looked so good.
She had planned on admitting us that day, but since they had let us go home
after a fever just after two days, she won't keep us this time for count recovery.
Yeah!
So a lumbar puncture and a push of vincristine (chemo)
and we were home again.
So since she has been neutropenic (no infection fighting cells or white blood cells),
we have kept to the house.
Her brothers have kept her entertained.
We started steroids on Tuesday and have had some up and down days.
Also still giving her the wonderful leg shot to help boost her numbers quicker.
Oh the life.
But we are so glad to be home.
The plan is to start phase 4 on Friday, the 25th.
August is filled with hospital stays.
We will enjoy home while we can!
