Fever Free

Addie has been fever free for 48 hours and feeling good!! She had to have a blood and platelet transfusion, which are both par for the course.  We are waiting for her counts to come up and each day brings us closer to that magic number of 500!!   Her stem cell harvest will likely be today or tomorrow and then she has her scans on Friday!! We will basically be in Iowa City all week either inpatient or outpatient.
Yesterday was a great day!! Grandma Carol and Gracie came to stay and the girls got to play all day together!! I feel so much peace when we are all together as a family, whether it be at home or here!! The hardest times for me are when we are separated!  Who would have thought two months ago that the bulk of our summer would be spent in a hospital room!  Life can still be good and happy... It is all about what we make of it and choose to focus on!!
Please pray that her stem cell harvest will go as planned and that her scans show vast improvement... Most importantly pray that Addie is someday free of all of this and can grow up a healthy child and live a long and happy life!!!
Thank you everyone for all your love and support!!

The girls found some hats and wore them all afternoon while riding their bikes.
