Home....

Boy do I love being home!!  Since last post I completed round 3 of chemo (hooray!!), was released Thursday morning for home and enjoying my time with my family!  This week is when my body is going to be recovering from the chemo and I become  "neutropenic"..big word for no immune system.  This is a hard time...I won't feel too good and it begins to worry mommy and daddy.  They, like me, pray alot and lean on the Lord to help me.  Please pray for me ... pray the fever stays away, I DRINK ALOT of water (or eat a TON of popcicles!!) and I won't need to go back to the hospital because of dehydration.  I have a few appointments this week and mommy has to give me an injection until I go in for the stem cell harvest.  This is difficult for me and mommy...She is brave!! 

I will post more later...

Day 2 of round 3

I am keeping mommy and daddy busy up here at the hospital.  They call me Princess Halie and King Daddy pulls me around in the wagon.  Queen Mommy gets to push my IV pole ...doesn't that sound like a lot of fun!?!?!?  So far I am doing pretty good.  My brothers and sister are vacationing with Nana for a few days but don't worry about my doggies at home...we have a pet sitter taking care of them!! 

Anyway...pray that my kidneys and bladder are protected from this chemo medication.  Thanks for the prayers!!

Round 3 ~ Chemo...

I arrived at the hospital last night to begin the chemo.  The doctor said I was a bit dehydrated so I didn't begin the treatment until this morning.  This is a good thing...if I started it last night they would have to wake me up every hour to go potty.  This is part of the protocol for this particular drug.  I need to keep my kidneys flushed.  Pray for a good day today.  The medication usually makes me sick to my tummy.  Pray .. pray for minimal side affects to the medicine.  Pray God continues to heal my body and the grace I need to get through each day. 

Rejoice, rejoice again I say rejoice!!!!

Oh.....did I happen to mention today that I received AWESOME news about God's healing hand on my body!!!!!!!  I just can't quit thinking about and praising God for the good report!! 

Please continue to pray for me.  I go into my 3rd round of chemo tonight.  This medication makes my tummy feel really bad and I ... throw up.  ICK!!  BUT...I know that prayer is paramount...so please pray for me.  This round will be for the next 5 nights. 

Praise God ... thank you for your prayers!!!   oxoxoxoxxoox

PS...Mommy and Daddy... I haven't seen them this full of JOY in a while!  Thank you Jesus!!!!
