Update on Abby - Day 8 and Hospital Pictures

Abby had her Day 8 treatments today, bone marrow aspiration, spinal tap, chemo. She still has 6% leukemia in her bone marrow. That was disappointing, we were hoping for, and expecting, zero.
It was a bit difficult to hear the Doctor put the best face on it by saying "the bright side is that she is making progress."
She has significant problems with her liver that they are trying to figure out. It is a serious complication. They are bringing a specialist on board to help decide what is wrong, and what to do.
We spent all day yesterday, and most of the day today in the hospital. We aren't getting much sleep, and so our most specific prayer request besides Abby's healing, is for my wife and I to get rest. Today is our wedding anniversary... not our favorite choice of how to celebrate, but at least we were together all day.
Sami goes to the hospital with us every time and helps Abby with every little thing she needs. God obviously brought Sami hear to be part of Abby's life at just the right time.

Abby is VERY proud of her paint work; she was getting blood for 4 hours. Mom and Dad dozed off next to her bed for a few minutes and Abby went to town with paints.
