Kinslee got a Doc McStuffin doctors kit from Santa
(She said she was Dr. Ray...her HO doctor:)...
she was giving Olaf her new snowman a check up)
The day after Christmas it was back to the clinic for a blood check (finger poke). The plan was to go home and wait for labs to come back and if her counts were high enough we would be meeting with her doctor from Cook via teleconference then sent over to the Children's hospital at Hendrick for chemo here in Abilene. Unfortunately, her ANC was only 100 (needs to be 750) so Kinslee did not start chemo. The doctor thinks the chemo has wiped out her bone marrow (which means it did it's job) and it's taking Kinslee's a while to recover. He said some kids bounce back quicker than others. So we are happy about the fact that the chemo is working but ready for her body to recover so she can begin the next phase of treatment! Since her numbers are so low this means we are afraid to be around others! Clay and I are scared to go out in public ourselves when her numbers are so low! We don't want to take any chances of getting sick and bringing home germs. We wish we could see our friends and family, get out of the house and go to church but that's just not possible right now :( We love and miss you all so much!!!
Kinslee has felt so good this month! She has played and played (before all she wanted was to sit in my lap all day)! It has been such a blessing and great ending to our crazy year! Please continue to pray that her counts go up so that tomorrow she can get the chemo she needs to begin this next phase! Thank you for your continued support!!! We love hearing that so many are praying for our baby girl! It's so encouraging to know that so many of you love and care for us!!! We could not have gotten through this year without all of you! Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts! Hope everyone has a blessed, happy, and healthy New Year!
