It’s Sunday afternoon I’m tucked in bed reflecting over the past few days. It’s been a mixture of a nightmare and a dream come true…worry that paralyzes and relief that trickles in and gives hope. All the while I’ve somehow felt the need to reach out to my friends old and new, online and down [...]

Ellie had to have another IV put in last night. Her platelets were down and the Dr. decided to put her on meds for 3 days to fix that. Stephie called us with a few things to pick up for her and when I got there she wasn’t feeling well and wanted me to stay [...]

I’m so sorry it’s been a haze of a day. (Haven’t slept in 43 hours so you can imagine my state of mind) Stephie has had a long day. I won’t go into all the details but I’ll say the latest blood work was much better. Her platelets are still only 94 and other bloodwork is not [...]
