Another Night

This picture was taken just less than a month ago...Anya is such a good big sister.

Just a quick update: Anya's bone marrow aspirate was at 11am this morning and all went well. Dr. Kitchen says that the initial evidence looks good, but we won't know anything for sure until tomorrow or later.

Unfortunately Anya will be spending at least another night in the hospital. She has been constipated and the doctors won't release her until that situation improves. She desperately wants to go home; we are praying that Anya will be able to do so quickly. A good part of the past couple days, she has been withdrawn and sad. We are hoping that she will improve in this area once she is away from the hospital.

I met with Anya's advanced practice nurse today for over an hour to learn how to properly care for Anya at home. There was so much to learn! But I was happy to hear that Anya won't be getting radiation treatment and it doesn't look like she will need a bone marrow transplant. Praise the Lord!

Oh, and thanks to those that purchased the car seats! We appreciate you!
