This week Cara got one bonus day of chemo. She got her normal dose on Thursday, three different drugs that actually didn't hit her too badly. Then on Friday she went in again for an additional dose, and this one has left her extremely exhausted with bouts of nausea. She's been laying around pretty much all day sleeping and watching Grey's Anatomy season 4. Over the next few days, her immune system will take a hit, so we have to give her a shot every day to boost her white blood cell counts. So far though, her white and red blood cell counts have been phenomenal--she even managed to kick that cold she had early this week! So, at the beginning of the third week we have so much to praise God for and much to pray for. We definitely wanted to thank all those who watched Bekah and brought meals this last week!
The other big news is that Sadie has slept through the night 3 times this past week! I was shocked in such a good way when I woke up wednesday morning and realized that I hadn't fed Sadie the previous night. God knew that we needed a sound sleeper the second time around. On the Bekah news front, she has decided that it is far better to go pee-pee in her diaper rather than in her toilet. We keep on attempting to bribe and coax her to use her big girl potty--but she's not interested in such foolery.

Thanks for the update! Love and miss you! Prayers continue!!!!
Hi guys,
It sounds encouraging, and will pray for Cara especially the next two days, and that the meds for her white blood cell count will do their work. We're so thankful to hear that she even managed to kick the cold in the midst of chemo, and that the girls are doing so great too....even Bekah who has better things to do than potty training so far:) With boys, we never thought they would ever stop playing long enough to learn it! Much love and continued prayers,
Mom and Dad B
praying for you guys!! hang in there. xoxo L
