Amazing

This week, Odette had me all sorts of nervous. She decided that she was going to get really sick with some high fevers. For a couple of days, we tried to help her by giving her tylenol (only at the hospital can she be given this), a couple of different antibiotics and keeping her a little cool by placing cool rags on her head. She actually didn't even mind them being there since I am trying to get her used to wearing hats. The towels helped a little bit, but her head warmed them up quickly. They never did figure out what was causing the fever, but it left and we are on our way home today. I thought for sure that we would be there another week, but mysteriously one morning she didn't have the fever and she kept all of her food down. She also decided that she wanted to try and eat some rice cereal and peaches (hasn't had solid foods for nearly 5 weeks) and roll around on the floor mat, play with toys and amazing, try and crawl! It was a night and day difference for her! Obviously prays of my own, family and friends are answered in mysterious ways. They might not be exactly what we ask for, but it is always what we need!

We will be going back to the hospital in five days to start her treatment all over with a spinal tap, heart ultrasound, bone marrow aspirate and 10 days of chemo. Probably another three weeks stay in the white room of the hospital. I'm not looking forward to it, but I can't wait for our family to have dinner together for almost a week starting tonight!
