Day 217: Holding pattern...

Sunday, April 13, 2008 - Mady had a blood draw and analysis on Wednesday in preparation for starting the next round of Chemo on Thursday. Her ANC (neutrophil) count was 590, too low to begin the next day. They require that she have at least a 750 to start the chemo round, so they'll check again on Monday or Tuesday. A few days' reprieve... she's still feeling pretty good, but this next treatment is likely to end that for a while.

We still miss Chris' mom, and I wanted to publish my favorite picture of Mady (or Mimi, as we all called her 9 years ago) and her Nana Helen...

Chris and Trey,
We think about your family often. Usually we donate old toys etc to the after school program at Jane's school. This time we've been inspired by your postings to take our board games (many are like new!) and, since we just got a new XBox, our Playstation 2 (along with tons of games) to donate to Children's Hospital here in Columbus. We'd send them to Yawkey, but we think the kids here need this stuff too!!
Love,
Beth and Ray Silverstein

The picture is so beautiful! We "blew it up" into a larger size on photo slick. I think we will frame it and place it on a special wall or table. We continue to pray for all of you!XXXXOOOOGP & E
