Another Clinic-Free Week

Eden continues to demonstrate a chipper disposition this week. Today was busy as we were trying to figure out if a trip to Iowa city was in the cards for Eden this week. She started today with a blood draw in town. With the final results in by late afternoon, a clinic trip was ruled out again this week. Unfortunately, her numbers were not high enough again this week for her treatment. So, we will are shooting for treatment next Wednesday. Her doctors have ordered more testing on Friday to check if a transfusion may be necessary for the weekend. Thanks for your prayers about this.

A highlight of today was Eden's second hair cut. It not only meant a trip out of the house; but also, a hip new 'do to boot. (Thanks Rochelle) Eden was quiet pleased with herself and did some modeling for Kurt. Interestingly enough, she was highly interested in nurse, Mary Lou, up at the clinic getting a chance to see her new style.

  2. I remember this stage being a waiting game to get going. Praying her counts will rebound for chemo next week!

    Mary Lou is the best, last time we were there Mikayla called Carolyn Mary Lou, when we corrected her she said "oh yeah, whatever" LOL She loves Mary Lou too!

    Wish we could make it to the benefit. We had thought about coming but we have another benefit here in town that same day. We will be thinking of you guys!
