Wordless Wednesday, almost

Thank you so much for praying for Abby. We are still in the hospital, but she is feeling much better tonight. We have had a lot of fun today. My day was filled with tea parties, baby dolls, play dough and lots of laughter and singing. Abby got a blood transfusion today and it added to the energy she already possessed.

She has gone 24 hours without a fever. If she as a normal temperature and labs in the morning, she will get to go home. Oh I hope we get to go home.

I am praying they give her platelets before they discharge her. They are pretty low and her two year old brother is a tank. We watch them very closely, especially when her platelets are low, but that boy can run like the wind. He is just too young to understand that Abby could end up with internal bleeding, from being tackled.

Pictures from today.

Teasing Daddy, who hates broccoli. Abby ordered it twice today.


Mirror Fun


Oh I love seeing her smile again. Thanks again for praying for Abby.


So proud of herself for telling her nurse how much she drank~in milliliters.

Tickle Fun.

I've worked with pediatric cancer patients before, and it never ceased to amaze me how normal they can act in the midst of all the hospital equipment and treatment.

I was finally able to sit down and read all of your posts, and I just have to say that you guys rock! Reading about your family, and about your complete faith in God and that He is completely sovereign was such an encouragement to me. You and your husband have beautiful spirits, and I will be praying for your family daily.
