Yesterday was uneventful and we took in every moment of feeling somewhat "normal".
Lexie talked me into watching The Walking Dead starting season one with her... which is totally not my kind of show, but I'd do anything for her!
Starting to feel a little stir crazy in this room already and we're only day 4.
Today Lexie will receive PEG asparagenase, praying she tolerates this chemo without any ...difficulty. The end feels so far off and the big picture is overwhelming, but when we stay in "today" it helps.
So looking forward to some visitors this weekend although Lexie gets her daunorubicin again on Friday and will most likely be sick or sleeping Friday and Saturday. Please pray for God to shield her body from all side effects during this next round.
Our friend Christina Bos (and fam) are coming down on Saturday. Christina will be cutting Lexie's hair off and sending it to be made into a wig. I expect this to be a difficult and emotional day and ask that you begin praying daily for Lexie to be covered in God's mercy and grace. Pray that He supernaturally gives her peace beyond our understanding about losing her hair and that His loving kindness engulfs her so that she may still find joy this weekend even in midst of the sadness. Pray that He gives her strength and that His mercy would protect her from experiencing any side effects from chemo.
I can't tell you how grateful we are for all the amazing support and love you guys have so generously given to our family. I can't imagine going through this without God and the army He has given us to fight this battle.
Thank you for being a part of our lives, for being willing to walk this valley with us and for caring for a loving a family in need. I marvel at God's design for "family". What a picture He is painting... I hope you all see it too!
More later today... Amy
