Prayers Please

Little Miss has come down with some throat sores... A very common side effect of the chemotherapy that she received!! She started complaining today after nap and it has progressed from there!  It definitely is limiting what she can eat and also what she wants to do!!  When the pain hits, it is substantial and it puts her on the floor in tears!! Luckily, Tylenol helps and she was able to play outside for a bit and eat some very heathy Cheetohs.
It is both a blessing and a curse that she doesn't understand all of this... It is heartbreaking when she is suffering, any degree of pain for Addie makes this all so much more of a reality!!  
I understand that these mouth sores can get really severe and they usually last until her counts rise, which can take awhile!
Please pray that the sores will not worsen nor spread!  Also pray that the medicines would alleviate her pain!  Pray that this is in fact mucositis and nothing more severe!! And lastly, please pray that her counts would rise quickly so she can be free from this!!

I want to apologize in advance for not being able to attend the benefit that Pleasantiville is having!!  I was planning on driving down for a few hours tomorrow but with Addie not feeling good it just isn't in her best interest for Mommy to leave! I can't say how much I appreciate everything and everyone for what they have done for this benefit!! I also can't begin to tell you how much it means to me that everyone has been so supportive of Addie and her fight, and to my family in Pleasantville!  It makes my heart so happy that my hometown, whom I have unfortunately been quite detached from since I graduated, would all come together and do such amazing things for myself and my family!!! Thank you, thank you!!  I wish there was a way I could show you how much I truly appreciate everything you are doing!! I pray someday soon Addie and I can come to Pleasantville, cancer free, and thank all of you personally!!! We are truly blessed to be supported by those like you!!

Go Team Addie!
