Week 12...

Week 12...(sigh)


It was Daddy's turn to go with Ava this week and they are on the plane home now. Which, is a good thing but not so good thing too.

Ava didn't get her chemo today, her ANC count was WAY too LOW - darn it! It was right around 300 - I didn't get the exact number but Erik said it was 300. We will bring her in on Monday morning and see what they are at. So, we take a step back and this weekend she stays in "isolation" (at home of course) until her numbers come up...darn it. That just means that next week she will take big leaps forward!

In the mean time we continue with the steroids, hope her numbers come up and that she can have her chemo tx next Friday. OR better yet pray that this is a sign and miraculously this disease is just plain GONE :) Yes, that sounds even better!!!

She seems to be feeling fine, no fevers and no major complaints so for that we are thankful. She does still have the nagging pain in her feet (right foot mostly), the thining of her hair, the pain at the base of her neck, sore throat, raw tounge etc...

On a different note, the weather here in Fairbanks is looking great for this weekend so we will take it and make the most of it before the snow truly flies and decides to stay.

Thanks so much for the meals, miles, money, prayers, cards - you know who you all are...THANK YOU SO MUCH it has made our lives so much easier.

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. ~Robert Brault
