just wanted to update you all on something very dear to my heart.
zoe will have a surgery this week in order to place a large catheter in her central vein for apheresis. according to her mom, this is a technique where her blood will be taken from her body, separated to obtain stem cells and then returned to her body. once she is discharged, injections will begin...in order to obtain these cells....or until apheresis occurs. my (limited) understanding is that they are giving injections in order to harvest the cells. and then they will gather the cells.
apparently, the injections cause bone pain. after this, round three of chemo will begin. one of the medicines that she will receive during this round, can affect her hearing.
my prayer...like everyone else's is that she is spared of this. and of the pain that occurs with these injections.
as you say your prayers this week with your kiddos...or maybe you say your own, please remember zoe. and her family.
thank you to each of you. i know they feel stronger because of each and every one of you.

- i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
