I am a mom of a cutie pie (very biased). And I wanted to share my experiences with others (including my cuties grandparents, great-grandparents, numerous uncles and other relatives). I love being a mom and can't imagine doing anything else.wonderful
this is going to short and sweet since Livi is asleep and we all know that sleep is like gold in this house..rare and precious.
our doctors visit was short and sweet also. Alivia's WBC count went down to 37.5 and her platelettes came up to 113 (that means her marrow can finally produce some of the cells it hasn't been able to). Her pulse oxygen level was 97% which is an A+. And the greatest treat...we don't have to go back till NEXT Thursday. Thats a whole week. OH JOY JOY JOY!!! Thank you Jesus! All in all a wonderful visit. I almost forgot how tired I am (only got 3 hours last night). They took out the access to the port so there isn't anything outside of her skin. She was so relieved. She usually sleeps on her belly and couldn't because of the access. I went to lay her down for her nap and she hesitated (like it might hurt), realized there wasn't anything on her chest and flopped down with a smile. She fell right to sleep. So good. Of to a nap for me.
Thanks to..
...Cynthia for coming with us and for doing my dishes when we got back! One less thing to think about for me...thanks!
...Geena from my dad's office for the Nemo magnets. They helped distract on Monday when Alivia was hungry and wasn't allowed to eat. She loved them.
...Everyone for praying. It's working. I said "oh the medicine is finally working... then stopped myself and realized..its not the meds its God allowing the meds to work. He is not suprised by them working or was he suprised when they didn't work. He has this whole thing planned down to the last second. Thank you Lord. (even when I'm complaining!)

Wow, the joy just seemed to leap of the page as you wrote of Alivia visit today. Praise God that all went well! Thank you for updating with the great news. Will continue to pray for a miracle.
Oh how pressed close to God we have been...it has been so hard. He is so good. Krisit (queen of heaven) told me; ALL of this is his compassion for Livi and US. Can you imagine? I don't know God very well at all...but, oh how I want to know him like that. I have a big stupid grin on my face!!!! I don't know whether to cry or laugh, so will do both. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARMIE!!!!!!!! Gigi
You can come to the wedding and now we will search for a crib in earnest. Oh, thank you Jesus!!!!!!
Praise Him - Praise Him. You are in my constant thought and prayers.

Emily, Your mom just stopped into the office for some hugs (as we were in the midst of reading the wonderful news). "I just had to get out and hug someone because no one was home." Praise to our faithful God. He is good.

I can hear the sound of rejoicing in the wind blowing down from the North as it joins with a chorus of joy in the air here in the South. Is it angels, or people singing? Probably both.
Thank you, Lord, for the relief of some happy news today!
God is good, all the time. I'm looking forward to a clear day ahead when we will see a complete healing and freedom from the leukemia altogether.
Forgot to sign my name to last comment
