Surprise Visit and Field Trip

Sarah's appointment on Wednesday was good.  Her ANC had already started to go back up and was at 650.  That means that she can go to church and doesn't have to be quarantined.  It is possible the Vincristine that she got on Wednesday might drop it a little, but we are hoping that it comes back up quick.  Sarah needs to be above 750 on Tuesday, so she can continue with this round of treatment.  Tuesday is a check point and is the middle of consolidation.  It also means that the next two weeks will be back on the 4-5 appointments a week.  I guess that is how it goes.

Today, Jess and Sarah had a surprise visitor.  A member of the Shoreline ward dropped by to say hi and had a few presents for Sarah.  Her daughter had gone through a number of surgeries right in row and knows the feeling of being in the hospital "all of the time."  Jess and her had a good talk and Sarah enjoyed getting a new sticker book and more crafts to do.

Lilly continues to have fun in school and had her first field trip on Wednesday.  They went to Carkeek park and looked at all the art work.  She enjoyed it despite the rain.  More firsts for our family.  Each of these makes me feel a little older.

Thanks for all the love and support.  We are grateful for our ward who continues to bring us meals and provide other support.  It makes life easier especially on some of the stressful days.
