No Appointment This Week

Hannah's counts weren't high enough to go to her appointment this week. This means we will wait until next Friday to start her next phase of treatment. One part of my heart is relieved that her body gets to rest and heal some with this break. Another part knows that in order to treat this disease her body is supposed to be hit hard, so maybe a break isn't the best thing. The other part wants to just get all of this over with, the sooner the better.

Since her counts are still so low, we continue to try to stay home as much as possible. Many, many people have made this a much brighter time for us. We are receiving LOTS of cards every day in the mail (the current count is 1246!!) The kids (and me!) wait for the mail each morning and LOVE opening all of the cards. It has been amazing to see how many people have taken the time to send us a card - most of whom we don't even know! A sweet friend of mine had the great idea of marking a map as to where all of the cards are coming from. (Thank you, Mary!) It is so exciting to see them come from all over the country!
