This week has been a week where making no plans was a good idea. Madey was supposed to go back into the hospital for round 4 of chemo, but that was delayed again. Madeline's blood counts have been pretty strong but her platelets were low so she received some on Wednesday, and then a blood transfusion on Friday, we are now hoping she can start chemo this week. But since the hospital does things whenever they want we will wait and see (no bitterness only love).
Since we have had Madey home for a few extra days and she has been feeling pretty good. The girls have enjoyed watching 'New Moon', giggling, and making giant cupcakes. With the weather being so good today, we took a drive to Antelope Island and had a picnic. It was the first time we have gone to the Island and actually seen Antelope along with Bison and a coyote. Being in the car that much and taking a few shorts walks to observe wildlife on the Island wore Madey out a little, so we brought her home and had a delicious meal of 'hotwings' and chicken nuggets. Nothing like a little spicy snack food and Orange Fanta to bring up the energy level in our house.
We continue to be amazed at the blessings we receive as we move forward in this journey. The times we have together as a family to laugh, love, and tease each other seems more delightful all the time. Thank you again for all the love and support! And keep training, the 5K will be here before you know it. George actually ran 1.8 miles yesterday without collapsing, he might actually do this.

I absolutely and completely adore your family--thank you for sharing this blog link with me. We are praying hard! I am so motivated to be ready to run the 5K on April 24th. I just sat down with Jacob to go over my plan and commit to my running even more than before!
ReplyDeleteLast Wednesday at the hospital, we rode the elevator up with you. I was showing my daughters your blog and they really want to come run in your 5K. We hope things continue to go well for Madey.
