Weekend Update



It's Sunday and we are enjoying a quiet weekend at home, resting, and trying to stay germ free. Madeline was able to meet with most of her teachers last week so she can continue with her home bound studies. I'm proud of her since I am sure it's hard being the only one in the class. You have no choice but to answer every question and find every answer yourself! Hard work for my sweet introvert but she's doing great. 

I am completely overwhelmed by the response to the t-shirts. As of this morning, we have sold almost 300 t-shirts. The last day to order is this Friday so please order one this week if you can.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone for taking such good care of our family. We appreciate every kind gesture and prayer. We do ask that you call, text, or Email before stopping by. We are happy to see everyone but sometimes we just need some family time or Madeline may not feel up for visitors. When you come in our house, please wash your hands so we can avoid germs and extra nights in the hospital. And finally, if you are not feeling well, please postpone your visit until you are healthy. If you get the flu vaccine, choose the shot rather than the mist if you will be around our family. The FlumIst is a live vaccine and very dangerous to those with weakened immune systems. Thank you so much!! 

The plan is to head back to the hospital on Tuesday morning. She will start the second round of chemo that evening. This one must be cleared from the body before you can go home, which usually takes 60-72 hours. Pray she can drink fluids to clear quickly and get home as she has to do the same thing again the following Tuesday. 

Please pray the cancer is still isolated on her fibula and has not spread. Pray that she will continue to be brave and patient as her body and the medicines fight this cancer. Please pray that she can be at peace with losing her hair and realize how beautiful she is inside and out, hair or no hair.
