So this is my 100th post on this blog. Most of the posts deal with Sarah's Leukemia and the subsequent treatment. That seems to be the driving force of our family for the past few months. Even a simple vacation for Christmas turns into a week devoted to Sarah. I am sure one day we will look back on it and not understand how stressed we felt at this time. We truly feel for those who have to deal with this for years.
Sarah was released from the hospital today with some IV anti-biotics. That means that we need to give her medicine through her port every 8 hours. She is left accessed and will be so until her numbers come back up. This is one of the major differences between Primary Children's and Seattle Children's hospital. Sarah is scheduled to get labs on Saturday. We are praying that her ANC is above 500 so that she doesn't need to stay accessed for our trip home.
I came home from teaching today and found that Gus had chipped a tooth. I heard that something happened between him and Lilly and he hit his tooth on the floor. His front tooth has a decent size chip out of it now. We called our dentist in Seattle, who is a good friend, and he told us that he wasn't too worried about it, and that he didn't think someone needed to look at it before we returned to Seattle. We are grateful for our friends. It helps to smooth over some of life's bumps.
I know at times that it might feel like I just added my thanks to those who support us and pray for us as a closing to the blog post, but we do feel so grateful. I hope that each of you know that we feel the love and support and it sustains us. I hope that all those who do pray and think about and support us feels the love of the Savior. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
