In ICU

Hello-I am in ICU.  My blood pressure is low and there is a wide range between my 2 numbers. The doctors are treating me with a broad spectrum abt/antibiotics because they are not sure if I have chicken pox or a bacteria infection, or what.    My central line is not working properly so they are not able to draw blood from it... which makes more ouches.  I will be here at least for another 24 hours as they wait for the blood culture to come back, so they treat me accordingly.

Please pray for wisdom for the doctors to quickly diagnose what is going on with me, and that I will respond well to it.

Please pray for my blood pressure to come back into range.

Pray for my brothers and sister, as they were really looking forward to me, mommy and daddy being home this weekend together.

Also, mommy and daddy meet with the specialist on Monday to go over all test results. Please pray that the  Neuroblastoma is not in my bone.

back to the hospital :(

Today I had to go back to Children's.  My fever went up and blood counts went down.  The doctors decided to give me a blood transfusion.  That is good.  Now they need to keep an eye on me for the next day or so. Please pray that I don't have an infection or chicken pox.  Pray for mommy and daddy...they are tired but trusting.  Thank you for the continued prayers. 

No doctors today!!!

No doctors today!!!  None tomorrow!  None on Sunday either....hooray!!!
I'm so glad we get family time ... please continue to pray for my family as we learn what our new "normal" family life looks like.  Pray for my results from the doctors on Monday...God is in the miracle business and that is what we are praying for!!! 

Movie night

Last night we had a family movie night.  I got to snuggle up with my daddy and my sister was on the other side of daddy.  My brothers were there, Grandma and of course mommy....it was FUN!  I feel pretty good!
