wednesday night

Well, it's Wednesday night, and I just realized we haven't blogged for several days. Sorry faithful blog readers! Eden has been doing ok over the past several days. Not great, not bad - just okay. She continues to tell us her hair is growing back, and she is correct, at least it seems to be coming back in, ever so slowly. We've been pleased lately with her improved appetite because over the past few weeks, it's been a real task to get her to eat much of anything.

Selena took Eden to get her blood counts ran on Tuesday, to see if she would be able to get chemo today (Wednesday). Unfortunately, her white count and nutralphil count were too low again to receive treatment. We would really like her to be able to continue treatment as she won't make up the chemo she misses - once her treatment is over, it's over. The Dr's said the study's have shown that making up the missed treatments doesn't improve the patients chances of a full recovery. So, we're hoping and praying for her white count to jump up so she can receive chemo next week.

Before I left for work this morning, Eden and I watered our freshly planted garden. It seems as though gardening will be something the little girl loves to do - okay, so she could probably could care less about gardening, she just loves being outside with her pops (and mom). This morning, Eden and I decided to take special care of a few sprouts of field corn that are going throughout the garden. Apparentlhy the squirrels forgot to go back out and dig up their stash. We'll post some photos later this summer of Eden and her "corn field". Other than gardening, we've spent a good deal of time swinging and doing unnerdogs. Selena and I both thoroughly enjoy our time outside with Eden!

Please continue to pray for all of our friends effected by cancer.
