Abby's pain is much better controlled today. She is actually getting too much pain medicine and we are weaning her down a little. As long a s Abby remains comfortable, I am excited that she is going to be getting/needing less medicine.
Abby's liver enzymes are still too high. One is the the same, one higher than yesterday and a third is still high, but much better than it was.
Abby's bone marrow is still on strike and her WBC are MIA. So we are sitting in the hospital waiting, waiting, waiting. This is the first day, in a week, that Abby has been doing well enough for me to be able to sit a little and be... bored. Because she has no immune system, things are still serious, but I am not as scared today as I was yesterday. Thank you so much for praying for me and for Abby.
The hospital and drugs are wearing Abby out.
Even "Travis" couldn't get a smile out of her today
so far, a RARE occurrence.

Praying for you all. Glad there was some good news today.
Man, even worn out, the child is a beauty. I can guarantee in I were in her shoes, drugged and waiting for my liver to shape up, I WOULD NOT look that pretty. Not.even.close.
Hang in there, Abby-girl. We love you.
I pray for Abbey everyday and thank God for every time I read that she is doing okay. I feel like I know you and I feel your pain deeply.
Praying without ceasing!!!
Glad that today is better than yesterday...and I'm praying that tomorrow is improved, and the next day and days after that. That Abby stays comfortable and the Lord guides to protect her...and also that the bone marrow would begin working...praying!
Hope you enjoy your hospital boredom...I know that feeling all to well. Praying for you too Michelle, that the Lord would meet you.

We will be covering all of you in prayer at our bible study tonight!
Love and hugs,

Praying for you both as we sit in the hospital with our little one...
Poor sweey baby! We are still storming Heaven's gates with prayers for this little angel! Travis not getting a smile is a big deal! We are praying for those WBC to just start showing up, for strength and for healing.As well as peace and rest for all of you! Much love Faith
Bless her heart, She needs a break... I'm thinking of her as she continues to fight all these battles. Her poor body is exhausted. Thank God she has such an amazing family.
Praise God for the small improvements!
SO thankful that things are a BIT better. Right now, even a BIT seems huge! :)
Still praying!
I am so happy with the steps forward, even if they are baby steps! I pray that she will be feeling more like the Abby we've all grown to love tomorrow. Hang in there, sweet girl.
So thankful that Abby is resting some, still praying for a miracle for Abby. I love her so much, she touches my heart deeply. I have some problems i am dealing with (trying to ) and as much worry, stress etc. that i have, when i come to her site, i then realize....i have nothing to worry about....little Abby and her mommmy and daddy do. Michelle, would you say a prayer for me..it is a family matter that is ripping my heart apart, i know God can take care of it. I really need some help praying for me that God can show me what to do. I love my family, but i am so lonesome and depressed right now.
I'm so happy to hear your news today..like you said, we can be grateful even when things stay very much the same.. Our prayers continue to rise up to heaven for you and Michelle and sweet Abby.
I was wondering how the rest of the children are doing with all that is going on? Your family is a sweet little gift to us all. Thanks for enabling us to know about your needs so we can pray. Prayer is mighty. Prayer is powerful. Prayer is REAL.
Such a beautiful child. I pray for her everyday. Glad you got some good news today.
Abby so glad things are looking a little bit better. We feel so bad that you hurt so much. God give you strength and your smile back.
Michelle, continued strength to you dear sister in Christ. We can't imagine your days, but I and many others are praying for you and your family and your strength to hold on.
She is so precious...you are all in our prayers.
So happy to hear a bit of good news! And very happy that Abby's pain is under control. Despite the "no smile" in the picture, I think Abby looks very peaceful. She looks like she is praying. :) May God continue to wrap you all in His love - while we continue to pray without ceasing.
Michelle,
So glad to hear that Abby is feeling better...and that you have had a little down time yourself. Praying that God continues to lift you and your family up!

I check up on little Abby a lot but rarely comment. It is so sad to see her struggling. I have two 3 year old daughters, so this really touches me. She is a precious little girl and I can tell she has a huge personality. I hope and pray she gets some of her spunk back!!
I'm sending hugs to all of you. If I were there with Abby, that's all I would want to do...hug her and hold her. She is just so sweet. We continue to pray for all of you.
I am so glad to hear things are looking a little better today, Maribel and I prayed for Abby tonight..
Bless her heart. I look at her, any my heart just breaks - such a sweet little girl.
I have posted that my family prays nightly for Abby, but I will add that my Abby has decided that one person praying is not enough. No matter whose turn it is, when they are finished, Abby quickly adds her own prayer. The other kids tend to get a little irritated, but Abby insists that she wants to pray for "Little Abby" too. The girls request daily updates, and we have truly fallen in love with your daughter.
I cannot imagine how completely exhausted all of you must be...I wonder if Abby's picture could be a picture of any of you. I continue to pray for all of you as you continue to BEAT CANCER!
Praying for Abby,
Kris
Hugs to Abby :) Michelle :) Brent (maybe) j/k! I'm praying for all of your Health & Well Being; hoping that when this jaunt thru this LONG hospital stay that Abby will be running, laughing, and even shaking her booty in the nice Sunshine God's created "Spring".
I'm not sure how much to say (here) in regards to me last night so I think I'll shoot you an email (after the biopsy today & visit w/Pastor E). For now, Please pray for my 'Healing'...
I'm not making sense (in tears). But darn, Abby, you are an inspiration to NOT give up!
I continue to pray for your precious little Abby. I'm glad that the meds are controlling her pain right now. May the Lord provide you and Michelle with His comfort and peace in the midst of your challenges.
