Dad works where????

Eden had another great day today!! Although her hair continues to thin, her mind continues to grow! I am thankful that if she stays on the path she's currently on, she'll be smarter than her ol' man by the time she's in secund graed:) Tomorrow (Tuesday) we are expecting some test results back, and we're shooting for remission, but we need to be patient if she's not there yet. I recall how extremely excited we were on day 8 of treatment when we learned she'd went from 72% bad cells down to 3% - in just 8 days! Praise the Lord!

Another good story - did any of you know I have a different job? According to Eden, daddy works for "H". I have to back up a bit to bring you all up to speed. Eden has developed a love for "frogs". Frogs is our name for the kid cartoon, Letter Factory. On frogs, kids learn all about letters and the sounds they make. Most you have never paid this much attention, but the "N" on a DNR shirt looks very much like an "H". So if you ask Eden where daddy works, her reply is very simply put - "H."

Wednesday it's back to the clinic for some labs, chemo and an LP. Eden's developed a love for the nice people that take care of her on these days: Miss Donna (child life specialist) and Mary Lou (clinical nurse) - she speaks very highly of them often. It's really nice to see your child enjoy getting to see people like Miss Donna and Mary Lou!!!

  2. Selena, Kurt, and Eden,
    So glad to hear Eden is acting more like herself, I'm sure there will be many more days like that coming. We are praying for good results today. She sure comes up with some good comments, you just wonder where she gets all that knowledge, must be her great parents. Looking forward to hearing good news today and having a good clinic visit on Wed. Never a dull moment.
    Love, Aunt Nancy & Uncle Ardyce
