Covenant

Fever free today and yesterday!! Yay!!! If her blood work comes back good tomorrow then we will get to come home! Fingers are crossed and prayers have been said!!! We head back to Iowa City on Monday for round 2 of chemo. We are hoping to have a few good days at home all together before it is hospital time again! She is back to her sassy self and ordering Reed and I around!! Covenant has been absolutely wonderful and I can't say enough positive things about the nursing staff and the care we received... They dedicated the whole back wing to Addie Bean so that way she could leave her room and ride her bike!!! They put caution tape down and everything, just for her!! She was spoiled rotten today by Emily... She adores her!!! Thank you ladies for making our stay as positive as possible!! The hair loss has begun. Addie doesn't seem to mind and loves to yank and hand it to us. The only time it bothers her is when it gets in her paci, haha!! Looking back, I think The Lord knew it would be best for us to be in the hospital for this time, he knew Reed wouldn't be able to handle all that stray hair around the house!!! He just hates hair!!! Comical he was blessed with all girls... He will be surrounded by hair for his lifetime! I have been struggling a bit during this stay in the hospital, just letting my fear and anxieties get the best of me! The NMYC amplification really bothered me... It all bothers me!! I try and remind myself that the diagnosis and the statistics mean nothing (Reed reminds me of this, he has been so strong and so positive), we have no control of these things (or anything) and to worry about them is a waste of time and energy! I need to TRUST that He will carry all of us through this storm and that Addie can be His miracle... He can HEAL her!! Please Jesus, heal my baby!!
