It is no secret that I am not the jokester in our marriage. Kurt is definitely the humor and the social one. However, we’re finding out that Eden has a funny bone too. Just the other day we were reading a book about a dinosaur going to school I asked her, “Are you going to go to school someday” her response “No, I stay home.” I laughed and she said in a very proud voice . . . “I made mommy laugh.” Tonight as we were playing with some friends’ kittens she asked “Can I pull their tail?” She is her father’s daughter . . . but at least she asked. She is always keeping us laughing. Just another gift God has given us to get us through . . . God is good!
Eden is and has been doing well. We are confident that she will go through this next round strong and without any complications. Tomorrow I will be taking her to the doctor for a rash that she has had for several weeks. We have been watching it and have been told it is likely a viral rash but I would like to ensure she should be starting such an intense round of chemo when her little body is covered in a rash. We trust our family doctors and will be comfortable and confident in their recommendation. Tuesday we will visit the hospital for labs to verify that she is ready to start delayed intensification. Wednesday, pending good lab results on Tuesday, we will begin delayed intensification. I ask that you pray for us all, as Eden is scheduled for a lumbar puncture and this will also be the return of steroids (yes, we're stocking up on cottage cheese and avocados). Steroids were the drug that affected Eden so much earlier in her treatment - she would exclusively eat, read and watch movies. We will be preparing to invoke all our creativity to keep Eden busy and off the couch.
Sounds like things are going the best they can. Laugh at the good times and try to dust off the not so good. Keep up the good job, thinking of all of you. Steve J.
ReplyDeleteHi Selena,Kurt,& Eden,
ReplyDeleteWe were so glad to hear that the last month has been good, going on some outings, and being outside. We will pray the next month of treatment will be the same. Eden is so strong and so are her parents. We are praying everyday that she gets the treatments she needs to get rid of the cancer.
Hope you have a good day tomorrow.
Love, Uncle Ardyce & Aunt Nancy
Helle Selena, Kurt and Eden. Thank you for such a nice update. Amanda and I were sitting in Tara's living room in the middle of Belgrad with her family and I suddenly thought of Eden and got up to come and check your blog. Please know that even though we are on the other side of the world that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteHUGS, KISSES AND LOTS OF LOVE.
