Day +3 Evening Update!

Ugh… what a day. Today was definitely one of those days where it felt like we were taking one step forward and two steps back.

Addy received 2 more bags of platelets today. We also increased her feeds, but unfortunately that brought on some pretty significant stomach pain. That led to a full abdominal ultrasound, which is never an easy thing for Addy. She ended up needing a dose of morphine just to make it through the hour-long ultrasound. We’re still waiting on those results and praying it’s nothing serious.

The good news is that she did get up and work with OT and PT today, and respiratory has also been coming in to work with her. Even on the days when she feels absolutely awful, she continues to push through. I’m so proud of her!

This evening, though, she really started feeling rough. Her tummy was hurting, she developed a headache, and… cue more morphine. Then her oxygen dropped, so she’s back on oxygen again, and her temperature is running a little elevated.

We’re also trying to figure out which medication is causing her to become so blotchy. Unfortunately, whatever medication it is, they’re all too important to simply stop or change right now. So, unless it starts causing any breathing issues, we’re going to stay the course and keep a close eye on her.

There is just so much happening to her little body right now. We’re only at Day +3, and we know there are still plenty of hard days ahead. But we’re taking it hour by hour and continuing to fight.

Tonight, we’re really hoping for a quiet, restful night. Both of us could REALLY use it.

Please keep those prayers coming for Addy — for her pain to ease, her oxygen to stabilize, her stomach to settle, and for these new cells to keep doing exactly what they’re supposed to do. 🩷

Day +3 Update!

Last night was ROUGH!! Between her Lupron injection, her 2nd bag of platelets, and all the trips to the bathroom from the Lasix infusions, it was definitely a long night for us both!

She even managed to do about an hour of schoolwork to try to catch up, until she simply couldn’t keep her eyes open anymore. Then she became restless and uncomfortable in bed and told me her back was hurting. She was given a dose of morphine, which helped her get some much-needed rest.

This morning, she’s dealing with some belly pain, and her bilirubin has increased. We’re waiting on her morning medications and for the doctors to make their rounds so we can find out what the plan is for today.

Every day brings something new, and we’re just taking it one day at a time. Please keep our girl in your prayers today.

TODAY WE GO GOLD FOR THE SIBLINGS.

This one is for the kids who never asked for cancer to become part of their childhood.

For the brothers and sisters who watched their family change when their sibling got sick.

For the kids who had to understand why Mom was at the hospital again.

Why Dad was working more.

Why plans got canceled.

Why birthdays looked different.

Why sometimes their sibling got all the attention because their sibling needed it to survive.

And here's the part nobody talks about enough...

They can understand why.

And still be hurting.

They can love their sibling more than anything in this world and still miss the life they had before cancer.

They can be proud of their brother or sister and still be scared every single time that hospital bag gets packed.

They can say, "I'm okay," because they know Mom has enough to worry about.

But they're kids.

They shouldn't always have to be okay.

I've watched my own children live this alongside Davy.

I've watched them worry about their brother.

I've watched them adjust to a life that changed because of a diagnosis they never received.

And as their mom, there's a guilt that is hard to explain.

Because when your child has cancer, you do whatever you have to do to keep them alive.

You don't have a choice.

But part of your heart is still watching the other children wondering how much they're carrying quietly.

So today, I want the siblings to know something.

I SEE YOU.

Your feelings matter.

Your childhood matters.

Your fears matter.

Your needs matter.

You are not forgotten just because someone else is sick.

And you don't have to be the "strong sibling" every second of every day.

Today, we GO GOLD for the children fighting cancer.

But we also go gold for the brothers and sisters standing beside them.

Because cancer may have chosen one child...

But it changes all of them.

Day +2 Morning Update!

Our girl had a GREAT night! She did not require any oxygen overnight, and we are so thankful for that little victory!

Today, however, she woke up to a nosebleed, and her numbers are starting to show just how hard her body is working right now. Her hemoglobin dropped from 9 to 6.5, and her platelets went from 35 to 13.

We’ve been told that blood and platelet transfusions will become even more frequent now, especially over the next few weeks. And this is where YOU can help Addy!

If you are willing and able, I urge you to roll up those sleeves and donate blood or platelets. Every donation can make a difference for Addy and for so many other patients fighting battles just like hers.

And if you’re unable to donate, you can still help! Please share this post and her donor flyer so we can reach as many people as possible. Every share could put it in front of someone who is able to give.

Addy has already completed her PT for the day like the little warrior she is, and she is currently receiving platelet transfusion number 1.

Thank you in advance to everyone who donates, shares, prays, checks in, and continues to show up for our girl. We are so incredibly grateful for every single one of you.

Day +1 evening update!

Between therapies and everything else happening around here, we both took advantage of naps today! Well… as much as we could with the constant revolving door of doctors, nurses, and everyone else checking in on our girl all day.

At 2:25 PM—exactly 24 hours after her transplant—Addy was able to come off of her heart and respiratory monitors! One more little step in the right direction. She also started a medication called Neupogen, which helps stimulate the production of white blood cells. The amount of medication this girl is on right now is absolutely staggering!

We also increased her feeds to 30 mL per hour. That might not sound like much since it’s only about 1 ounce an hour, but for Addy, that is HUGE! She hasn’t been able to tolerate feeds at all until this hospital stay, so seeing her handle them and being able to slowly increase them is such a big deal.

After her linen change, she hung out with me in the chair for a while, just scrolling through her phone and watching everything going on outside our window. Those quiet little moments together mean more to me than I can even explain.

Now we’re praying for a calm and peaceful night with lots of rest for our girl. Her body has been through so much, and we’re asking for nothing but healing, strength, and those little victories to keep coming. 🩷🎗️

Day +1 Morning Update!

Addy had a few small issues throughout the night. She ended up needing some pain medicine, and then her cough decided to make an appearance again, which caused her O2 numbers to drop. We put her on 2 liters of oxygen, and thankfully that brought her numbers back up beautifully. She was able to come off the oxygen around 5 AM and has been stable ever since.

Then, earlier this morning, we had a little scare when her NG tube became clogged. Thankfully, her nurse Glinis knew exactly what to do… a COKE! And just like that, everything is running smoothly again!

So far, we’re doing okay and just taking things one moment at a time. Praying for a calm, uneventful, stress-free Day +1 for our girl! Her cells are officially in there doing their job, and now we just pray they settle in, get comfortable, and start doing exactly what they’re supposed to do. 🩷

TRANSPLANT COMPLETE!!

At 2:20 PM, they started pushing Addy’s new cells. And just 5 minutes later, at 2:25 PM, they were completely in!

Now we wait. We watch. We monitor. And we pray.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, to every single person who has prayed for this day to come. Every prayer, every message, every kind word, every ounce of your love and support has carried us through this journey. We could never thank you enough.

Our girl has finally reached the finish line of this part of the journey, but the real challenge is just beginning. Now we need these little cells to get to work, take over, and do exactly what they’re supposed to do—with ZERO side effects and ZERO complications.

Today is a HUGE day for Addy. She has fought so incredibly hard to get here, and we are beyond proud of our girl.

Day 0. The cells are in. Now we wait for the magic to happen.

We are still waiting to get started, but Addy is ready to go!! 🩷 🩵
