December 11, 2014

Got an unexpected call from Lindsay's surgical team today informing me her surgery has been scheduled for next Thursday. Looks like I will head back to Chicago on Wednesday afternoon. 

Going to clinic bright and early tomorrow, 6:30 am, for Lexie's spinal and 2 IV chemo's; methotrexate in her spine and IV ARA-C. She will get three more doses of ARA-C at the apartment over the following 3 days.
 
PLEASE pray for protection against all fevers, especially while I'm out of town. 
 
Lexie's blood counts are plummeting (as expected), but it makes me feel uneasy reliving Mackenzie's past and knowing how vulnerable Lexie is to infections at this point. 
 
Please join me in praying for protection from all infections. Her hemoglobin has dropped again, down to 7.7 so I'm assuming she will get another blood transfusion in clinic tomorrow. Despite it all, Lexie is feeling good and we are thankful for every day that she feels well!

Thank you to The Clark Family, Wauconda Middle School Staff (we're ready for a snowball fight to take out some aggression! haha), Alyssa McCarthy and Lacey Lewis! 

We are so grateful for the fun mail and care packages! 

You guys continue to amaze us with your unwavering support. 

Much love from Cincinnati and more tomorrow...
