The meds and the moods continue. Isn’t it nice that the days are so nearly normal that there’s been no medical update to send?

There was the early morning routine checkup Monday to monitor drug level in“her” blood. (Thank you somebody!!) And there will surely be a visit to the hospital for transfusion before the coming weekend is over. For now she is holding her own and we rejoice that tomorrow will complete three whole weeks home without infection. The girls are thoroughly enjoying each other and exhausting their parents. What a blessing.

If you would like to see the course of treatment of another child who was a year younger than Kenna when he was first diagnosed, here is his family website. He must be about 7 years old now.

I’m leaving for a week in Colorado tomorrow morning, so you won’t hear from me until next Saturday, June 19. Thanks for keeping us all in your prayers, as we gratefully thank God for you.
