Today marked day 11 of treatment for curing Eden's Leukemia. Eden had a good, not great, day today. Eden continues to be quite content being held, watching movies or sitting reading books. That may seem normal to outsiders, but for Eden, sitting in one place for very long is not normal. Her play kitchen has not seen much activity lately, but she constantly is requesting to "go to kitchen". Dad asks, "why, are you hungry AGAIN?" To which she replies "no, help mommy". "Mommy coffee". Dad asks, "is mommy making coffee?" Eden says "yes, coffee hot". The cancer sure hasn't taken any spirit away from the little girl, that's for sure!
Even though last Friday's test results were encouraging, we ask that you continue to pray for Eden, as this treatment protocol is going to continue for a minimum of two years. We also ask that you pray for us as we make decisions and adjust to our new "normal".
We very much appreciate everyone keeping Eden in your prayers! There is power in prayers.

Hi Selena, Kurt, and Eden:
ReplyDeleteWe will continue to pray for Eden. I hope you have a good week, and she gains her energy back soon, so that she will play just like she used to. Anything you need, any questions, I am always here if you want to talk!
Watching them eat so much while on the steroids is hard to believe-Emma would eat 3 hotdogs for breakfast most days. You have to wonder where they put it?
We hope we see you next weekend at Dance Marathon-we would love to meet sweet Eden.

Hello Selena, Kurt and Little Eden,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your messages each day. Right before I go to bed each night I stop in here to see how Eden's day went. Normal....your new normal! Oh how I can not really understand what you are experiencing. Please know that I think of you often and you are STILL in my prayers.
I will call and maybe we can set up a good time for me to come and visit.
Love. Linda D.
Glad to hear about the great results. That is WONDERFUL! I still remember waiting for those results and rejoicing in the good news.

Selena, Kurt & Eden: I'm from Bloomfield and just learned of your journey with Eden's illness. What a beautiful family you are and how lucky Eden is to have you all. I went to high school with Jolene, and Russell was someone I saw and visited with often when I worked in town. With two granddaughters and one more on the way, I can barely imagine the fears and trepidations you are all going through. Reading your notes makes me sure that faith and love will get you all through this. Please know that my thoughts and prayers will also be with you and I will be keeping track of Eden's progress. With faith and prayers. Kathy Hartwick

Hello Eden! I've thought about you all day today, so I thought it would be a perfect time to check in with you! I should be packing, but you are much more fun to think about! I just wanted to tell you to watch for your mail carrier in the next few days! Something very special is coming your way. Hope you find something in it that you like! We are all continuing to pray for you, your parents and everyone else that takes such good care of you. Tell Mom and Dad that we do so appreciate all of the updates they take the time to share. Continue being such a good little girl. We love you all! ~~Heidi
