Day 21

Day 21


Day 21…….

Day 21……Happy Sunday everyone! Today Addi has been in some pain but they began giving her pain meds every 3 hours so that has helped tremendously! Again today her bilirubin has gone down a little more (YES!), her platelets were normal this morning but went from 50j to 28k this afternoon so she will get a platelet transfusion tonight BUT she has went from getting platelets 2-4 times a day to once a day so that is a HUGE victory and means the liver is working more than it was. She is completely OFF oxygen!!!! Huge victory! She did start running a fever today so they are doing cultures to see if they can pinpoint exactly why. Her delirium is much better now that they have clumped her care and she is having minimal disruptions at night and is getting some sleep. The doctors are sounding more and more hopeful everyday. Being patient as the liver heals is the hard part but trusting God that it is happening and she will have a full recovery. So all in all I have to say things are beginning to look better each day! It will continue to be a rollercoaster ride for a while but every little improvement is just one step closer to recovery and going home. God is so good!
Ok…I hate even talking about this stuff but it is just so hurtful so I have to! Someone posted a post on Facebook today begging God to take Addi home and stop her suffering, talking like she had passed away and saying rest in peace. They also stated that I needed to stop posting painful pictures and should only post happy, beautiful pictures of Addi. First of all….PLEASE STOP…you have no right to post anything like this! Secondly, this is the reality of cancer and if you don’t want to see the reality of cancer do NOT follow her page. People like this make it hard and make me want to delete this page but I don’t because of the people who love and pray for her. I do not sugar coat this journey. I try to be real and honest!! I post the good days and rejoice…..I post the bad days for prayers. This is not child abuse as this person stated. It is CANCER and it is not pretty…it is painful and ugly but we are not giving up!!!! If you don’t like how WE, as Addi’s family, are treating this cancer and don’t want to see the truth….remove yourself! Thanks to those who reported and had it taken down! Sorry for the vent but I had to……I should not give this post/person the time of day but sometimes you just have to let it out and let people know where you stand. I stand on the promises of God that she will be healed and that I serve the Great Physician that is working miracles on Addi’s behalf!! We won’t give up!!!!
For those that have loved, prayed and supported…. THANK YOU! We LOVE you guys who have been here praying for Addi and for being so wonderful and supportive through it all. God is performing a miracle day by day! We are praying and have FAITH for good things this week! This picture of my sweet girls absolutely makes my heart overflow with LOVE!
