HAPPY THANKSGIVING!


Hello everyone. Sorry I am behind on updates. Things have been very stressful lately. It's easy for people to forget the rest of the family and their needs when there is a cancer patient in the home, but believe me, the rest of the family still has problems and needs. It's been an experience and we are still adjusting to the financial and emotional stress.

Well, Lia's chemo treatment had to be canceled last Wednesday. Her ANC blood value was 300 points too low for her body to accept the chemo drugs. So we will just have to go back this Wednesday and wait to see if her blood work has improved. Poor little girl, always getting poked and prodded. But she is so sweet and upbeat.


Here's a picture I call "Baby Lia: Queen of the Sweet Potatoes" She was the reigning queen of the Thanksgiving dinner, that's for sure.

We want to thank Parker's Pal for sending Lia a gift card, and also Mr. Hill of the Volusia County Cancer Foundation for the generous gift certificate to get Lia clothing. She had all but outgrown most of her things, and we were so grateful to get her new, warm clothes!

LIA BEGINS SECOND COURSE OF CHEMOTHERAPY

The break is over. Lia began her second course of chemotherapy treatments on Wednesday. After her break from the two chemo drugs, her blood values were, of course, much improved. As the treatments go on, the blood values tend to drop due to the strength of the drugs. After the first round of treatment, Lia had to have her liver tested to be sure there was no damage occurring. Thankfully, the tests were negative on that front!





There will be a BOWL-O-RAMA fundraiser at the Sunshine Bowling Lanes in Deland, FL on Saturday, 21 November 2009 from 3 P.M. to 5 P.M. We will be posting all the details and a flier for the event within the next week. Lori Clay deserves a round of thanks for making the calls to get the ball rolling for this new fundraiser. Another thank you goes out to the staff and management of Sunshine Bowling Lanes for their help and support.
