Anna's treatment went ok, she did had an allergic reaction. Usually we give her benadryl before treatment and then other medication for allergic reaction. But this time her hives started even before they finish her treatment, she had to wait until medicine will arrive, pour girl she was crying, but try ed not to scratch her self. Next time we will try to give her Atharax first and then have benadryl on hand. Her next treatment will be this coming Sat. They decided not to do it on Wed. We will see if she can keep her platelets up for whole week long :-)

She is something :-)

I try yo give her as much sleep in the morning as she can get during week, She gets up at 7 and needs to be out the door by 7:25 to catch her bus. Her morning routine is:
1. Get up
2 Change clothes
3 Wash her face and brush her teeth.
4 take med
5 check her blood pressure
6 Get her shoes and coat on.

Today she decided she can paint her nails and put make up on.RRRRRR NO TIME for it and i don't allow my girls to wear make up to school at least until they 14. Anna decided to go ahead and do it, it is kind of my fault too i forget to remind her since school started. Also last time wile she was in the hospital they had BINGO game and she won BIG set of makeup. She try ed to wash her lipstick off but it didn't work, so we will be talking more about it tonight. O well she did made it to the bus Stop on time :-)

She will have to get another lab done tomorrow morning and Dr. will decided if she needs treatment on Sat.or she can wait untill Monday. She will need to get 2 times a week treatment and eventually go down to no treatment. It will take time to find out if she got over with this relapse.

Not so good news

Yestuday we went for our check up to Doenbecker children hospital. It went pretty well. Today i got a call from our doctor with bad news. Anna has to be back to the hospital for few days. This is not the news we hoped to hear, I know God is protector and her kidneys are in best function, just platelets still dropping. They will be doing plazma freezes for 3 days, then she will be home.

Wednesday, September 10, 2008

We got our labs done on Monday.
Her platelets went down from 347 to 210
and her LDH went up from 210 to 276
What we want to see is her platelets to go up not down and her LDH go down and not up.
So they will keep line for another 2-3 weeks, if everything goes well, then they will take it out, and she be able to do back to her Gymnastics. She can't wait. She still hopping to do competitions this fall. First will be starting at the end of September and go until later November. She still has time to catch up with everyone.
We going back to Doenbecker tomorrow for more labs.

Please pray for Chrissy and her family

If you can pray for her for next few days, as she will be going home and pretty much wait until God will heal her or take her to His house. It is very hard to watch when your child is sick and there nothing you or doctors can do. You can check her blog by clicking on side bar with her name on it.
Thank you

We went today and visit Anna's friends at the Gymnastics. She was a little decipointed, that she couldn't do anything. After a little bit she wanted to go home, but had to stay and wait for other kids to finish, so that wosen't an option. After awile she did just walking on the balance beam. She had good time.

Visit

We had great visit at Doenbecker hospital. Anna got to visit her nurses and doctors. She also got her favorite purple Popsicle :-) and free ice cream. We got to visit one of our friends from church their baby had surgery please keep him in prayers. We got our labs done and just got e-mail from Anna's doctor that Anna's number starting dropping again, but they all still in safe spot for now. It is kinda discouraging i was hopping to just be done with it and have normal day with out worrying about her condition.

When we got there i drop her off at her class. I had to talk to the teachers about Anna's condition. Then i was ready to go and enjoy my first day with out kids, then i found out Anna can't stay at school with out 504 program.... RRRR. They give me an option to stay with her for a little and then take her home and sure Anna didn't wanted to leave the school i had to stay AAAALLLL day there, then rush home and go work.
