Day 8
No real news today. She is doing better and is able to eat and move around. We are just waiting for her white blood cells to go up in the next few days so she can come home. Her temperature is normal and she is feeling and looking much better! Next chemo should go better as her bone marrow becomes healthier and is able to produce platelets more quickly.

ReplyDeleteThis is Ash... So happy to hear Aunt Jule is feeling better!! Here is an amazing quote:
ReplyDeleteWhat cancer cannot do:
Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot dissolve faith,
It cannot destroy peace,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot suppress memories,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot evade the soul,
It cannot conquer the spirit.

ReplyDeleteSometimes it's overwhelming to listen to doctors all day ... But always remember there are many good things on the road ahead. We should all feel good to know how well our family comes together to help each other out! Here's another great saying: (I know Aunt Julie will appreciate my exceptional grammar in all my messages)

Footprints in the Sand
ReplyDeleteAuthor Unknown
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamt he was walking with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes of his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it had happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered the man and he questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me."
The Lord replied,
"My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
Julie, don't ever think you are alone. We love you and continue to lift you up in prayer. We know you have the strength, courage and determination to fight the hard fight. You can do this!!

Hi everyone. This Is Julie... Today is the first day that I have seen this blog. What an amazing blessing it is to see that friends and family have been thinking and sending prayers for me. My family is so grateful for all of your caring support. Family and friends from FL, NJ, NY, NH and MA have helped us make it through to today. I am feeling so much stronger today. I just wanted to especially mention Alicia. You and Dennis got us through the roughest darkest days! Even though I don't remember some parts of the days you were here, I know Tom or I could never ever have done it without you. You are the truest friends and true angels! I will never forget your kindness, knowledge, and sense of humor. You are my hero, Alicia!
ReplyDeleteRay and Mary, the book you gave me "Jesus Calling" by Sara Young, has gotten me through some tough moments. My girls so appreciated having Mary and Wendy stay with them. You will never know how your long drive helped lift spirits at my house and at the hospital. And Everyone comments on my leopard pjs! : ). Fred, Barney, Wilma and Betty ,forever! Thanks Loretta and Deb for all your help and love. Guess this is just one more struggle our families will pull together and face together. I am sooo glad to have my mom around to help me. She always knows what to say and do. And Lyn and Molly, thanks for being true friends. There aren't many 8 year olds who are true bff's! Thanks to all who have truly touched our lives with your care and prayers! Please keep me and my family in you r thoughts and prayers continuously.
Love you all!
Julie
