Refocus

I have many feelings tonight of isolation, depression and hopelessness. But instead of focusing on these, I am trying to focus on other things like the positive updates of the three little ones.

C - She is doing well. I saw her Monday and although she still looked so small and frail, her mother says she is nursing well, wanting to eat some solids and has gain a little bit of weight. What great news.

E - Her surgery was today. The surgeons were able to remove the entire tumor without any complications or excessive bleeding. Hopefully this means no more surgery and a 'cure' to E's ailments. If the tumor is benign, the thought is it will not return and E should be on the road to recovery. Keep her in your thoughts as we wait for the path report.

H - He was treated yesterday. Although his platelets did not increase today, the way they would have liked, he was able to return home. There will be another blood draw on Thursday to see if the treatment is working. Please send up platelet growing thoughts to H and his family. The coming weeks will still be stressful ones, but hopefully ones with improvement.
