Home Sweet Home

Abby completed round two of chemo today. Two down, two to go. Besides the allergic reaction on the first day, this week went pretty smoothly. Doctors mentioned that only one kid a year has a reaction to the medication a year. Abby's tumor is rare and so was her reaction to the medication. While most kids are allergic to peanuts and cats, Abby is allergic to chemo :) 

She was discharged this evening from the hospital. Abby will continue to have weekly labs done for white and red blood cell counts and platelet counts. In addition, she will have another sedated MRI and lumbar puncture (spinal tap) in two weeks to see how the tumor is responding to treatment. 

Abby's appetite is poor and did not eat much this week. She continues to loose her hair. It is thinning rapidly and is getting patchy.

  5. Hi Abby, I met your Mom at the hospital last weekend. She told me all about your story and everything you are going through. I know this is not very much fun but I am so proud of you for being so brave. Everything you go through now will make you very strong for all the fun you are going to have in your long and healthy life. I have a little girl who has a brain tumor too. She has a different type of brain tumor but she too is being brave. You kids amaze me and teach all of us adults how to be strong and brave. We are including you and your family in all our prayers and sending lots of positive energy your way. I believe you only have one more chemo to go. Hooray!!!
    Here is my daughters webpage if you would like to see her.

    Stay Strong,

  7. Hi Julie. My name is Heather. If the family is still in need of meals there is a great website Foodtidings.com. They offer a way to have people schedule meals for the family. That way there is not any overlapping meals and the family can get help on the days they need it most. :-)

  10. The mans delighted eyes traveled from her furry vulva, dimly visible under the tautly stretched nylon that molded her underarch, up to those newly revealed breasts, to linger there, enjoying the way the generous swells, once released wobbled slightly as they fell into place, then hung pendulously rich, fully curved, naked tits, with thick, wide nipples that angled down and pointed outward from the center. He thenordered me to get between his legs again and suck his cock untilI licked up all his cum in my mouth.
