On Thursday of last week I took Violet back to the hospital for labs and, unfortunately, her ANC level was only 500. I was disappointed but Violet's doctor said that she should be fine by this week for everything scheduled.
As we drove home and passed all kinds of fun places I did have a moment of sadness over the fact that I couldn't take Violet anywhere other than home. Violet has grown up so much in the last couple of months and it hurts my heart that the only things she gets to see are our apartment and the hospital. She finds such delight in the paintings and designs on the walls at the hospital now and I know she is just going to be blown away when we finally get to take her somewhere like the aquarium or even just a toy store. I look forward to the day when we get to take this little girl out for something fun! I know that day will come.
So, these past few days we have done more of the same. I stay here at the apartment and keep Violet entertained. Thank God she is a very content little girl and doesn't seem to mind the confinement much (since she really doesn't know what she is missing). Other than wishing I could take her out of the apartment, I enjoy my time here too because I get to be with my baby girl all day. I am so grateful for that.
Tomorrow is a very big day. Violet has her 2nd CT scan and exam under anesthesia. Her procedure will begin at 12:30. We will find out how well the chemotherapy has worked in shrinking the tumor and what the results mean in terms of her therapy going forward. I have strong faith in God that we will get great news.
We ask for your continued prayers and love. Your support has meant so much to us.
Remember to be grateful for all of your blessings no matter how small and for every moment spent with the ones that you love. I thank God every night for mine.
