I'm pretty sure I'm biased,

But I still think I have the most beautiful bald headed little girl ever! Today we took the big step after her chemo treatment and shaved her hair. It was bald is so many different spots and falling out so much that it just made sense. We let her use to scissors to cut her hair and then Dustin buzzed the rest of it off. I don't think Dustin ever thought he'd be shaving his daughters hair, but honestly who ever thinks their child is going to get cancer anyways, right?




Today at her clinic appointment everything went well. She only had to get one of the chemotherapy's today and it's administered through a syringe and only take a minute compared to when she does the double dose and she actually has to be hooked up to the machine. The doctors said she is doing pretty good. Her red blood count is low and they want us to watch out and see if she gets any headaches or is really tired. Her ANC is back up, which is great. It's crazy to me how much that number fluctuates. Next week we have the double dose count dependent chemo and then will also do some x-rays and scans to make sure the treatment is doing what it is suppose to do.





One of my best friends Danielle, who lives in Texas has created a button on her blog that says "Praying for Izzy". She is a brillant blogger and has given me the HTML because I had a couple people ask if they could put the button on their blog. Anyhow, if you're interested you'll need to email me and then I can pass along the code, for some reason when I put in the post it just comes up with the button. You can check it out below, when you click on it, it goes to the blog. Love you Dan!



Lastly, I've had some really touching experiences this past week where 2 people have told me that Izzy's blog inspires them. It means so much to me that people actually take the time to comment, stop me at church, or send me a message. My little girl is definitely inspiring, in fact there are days when I look back at the pictures from the hospital and I can hardly believe that we've come this far. Don't get me wrong I know we're not done fighting, but she's a strong girl and it amazes me how much she has already been through. I swear when she gets to be a teenager and is struggling with the typical teenage things, I'm going to bring all these pictures out and tell her if you got through cancer, you can get through ANYTHING! So thank you to all of you who have shown your love and support, on my low days it helps to have these words of encouragement from everyone to look at to help me feel better. Because to be completely honest with everyone...sometimes I pretend.

Much Love,

Jennie
