Nausea

Nausea has struck little Addie Bean... I had a feeling it was coming because each day her appetite has decreased!  She has thrown up a few times this morning!  I have to fight to even get her to take a sip of water, let alone eat something!  Please pray that her appetitite would pick up and the nausea would go away!! 

It really is heartbreaking to see your children sick.  She is such a trooper through it all!! 

Round 3

Round three is going good!! She is still her normal self, riding her bike around the halls!  This round has been a bit more disruptive because she has to urinate every 2 hours around the clock! That has been tiring for all of us, probably the least for her... Kids are so amazing!! Her appetite has definitely slowed and she has complained off and on of her throat hurting, pretty normal for the medicines she is getting!  Please continue to pray that her side effects would be minimal and that her appetite would come back.  

We should be coming home on Monday as long as things go well!! Please pray that things at home will be good and that Addie will feel like herself and stay healthy... I can handle fevers and hospital stays but pray that she will stay infection free!! Please pray that all of our attitudes stay positive and that we continue to trust in Him!! Pray that He will heal our sweet Addie Bean!!  I would have never dreamed that things would be going as good as they have been, His blessings are endless!! Praise God!!!

Fireworks on the rooftop! Happy 4th of July!!

Results are in

We received amazing news today... God is so good!!! 

We were waiting on the results of Addie's bone marrow biopsy.  When I spoke with the Doctor yesterday she was surprised the results were not in and she said she would call as soon as she knew.  Today she called and these were her words, "Well now I know why her bone marrow took so long, cause they were looking and looking for tumor cells and couldn't find any!" Her bone marrow is cancer free, she no longer has the cancerous cells circulating through her system!!!

Praise Jesus! So many prayers are being said and they are being answered!! Thank you God!! And thank you to all of you praying for our little sweetheart!! 

Prayer request...

We start round 3 of chemo this Thursday and the drugs she will be receiving are different and much harsher to her system!  The main side effects are high frequency hearing loss and kidney damage.  The percentage of children that have hearing loss following this treatment is very high.  Please pray that The Lord would protect her kidneys and her hearing, pray that he would continue to keep her little body strong!  Pray that the therapy will be highly effective and no resistance will be met!! Also pray that she would continue to feel good and her side effects would be minimal, nausea and diarrhea are much more common after this treatment!! Thank you all!! 

Here we go round 3...   

Good News

Great news :) her scans showed improvement!! Her MIBG scan showed less uptake and decreased activity and "Naughty Randall" has shrunk and by the sounds of it quite a bit!! Praise Jesus!! We are still waiting on her bone marrow biopsy!! 

We will get all the specifics this weekend and I will let everyone know the details... But by what we have heard so far it is great!!

Thanks for all your prayers!! Go Team Addie 😊 

On a side note... Her counts were amazing again today and she has been in such a good mood and feeling so good!!  God is so good!!

Happy Birthday

Our Little Miss is three years old!!  We couldn't have asked for a better day!! So many things lined up perfectly to make her day a success!! She didn't need a G-csf shot, she was home, her counts were "normal," and most importantly she was HAPPY... All answers to prayers!!  

We celebrated with a family birthday party at Grandma and Grandpa's, a special thank you to them for having all of us and for cooking!! Her only request was a monkey cake, a small one and a big one... She is obsessed with "naughty" monkeys, we can thank her Daddy for that!

So blessed to be this little girl's Mommy!! Here is to many, many more wonderful birthday celebrations for our Addie Bean!!

The girls and I made birthday tie-dyes to wear... It was really fun for the girls to do and they actually turned out pretty good!! We will definitely be doing it again!!  I will try and post a picture of the whole crew sometime!

Scans

Scans are underway!! 

She was in such good spirits this morning and I only heard a few times,  "milky warmed up Mom!" There were a few tears after she was told no, but for Addie a few tears is nothing... That girl can really throw a tantrum and we didn't have any of those this morning!!! She requested McDonalds, a Hershey's bar, Cheetos, cheese crackers and milky warmed up when she wakes up!! We have everything but the McDonalds which we will get on the drive home! My wonderful Momma and niece, Kaylee, came yesterday so they could make the trip back and forth with us!! It is nice to have company!

The times when she is taken away from me are the hardest!! Fortunately, we had our favorite sedation nurse, Holly, and a very nice Dr. taking care of her today!! 

We won't hear about the results until Monday and once we know I will make sure and update everyone!!  He hears our prayers and we are going to get some good news :)

We were met with good news... Her labs came back from this morning and no more shots!! Her counts are high enough, which means no shots on her birthday... Praise Jesus!!

My Girl

I love this Little Miss more than imaginable! Thank you Lord for letting me be her Mother!!

I love this picture... My sweet little baby!! Taken by her Aunt TT ❤️
