You Just Never Know....

...what we thought was just a regular clinic day ended up being admission day. Greta's counts were back up where they were needed so she was admitted to receive her fifth round of chemo today. Her hemoglobin level was even lower so she'll also be receiving a transfusion tonight as well. This round is just a three day cycle so we should be home by Friday for Fourth of July. In the meantime Greta has already been making her rounds on the hospital floor, flashing her smile and saying hi to all her friends.

Big brother Gavin was lucky enough to get to go with Grammy and Opa to the cottage today so we will be able to both spend time with Greta at the hospital and Gavin will get to enjoy being at the lake with his cousin Aidan. Happy Canada Day to all our friends at the cottage!

We have about four more weeks of treatment before Greta will get another scan and she'll also have a scope and biopsy done on the tumor around that time so that the doctors will have a better idea of what kind of progress we have had. We are keeping our fingers crossed and lots of prayers are being made that we'll get good news then.

Hey little girlfriend! We are praying for you as you receive your next round of treatment. May the good Lord continue to watch over you, give you strenth, and heal your little body. We look forward to seeing you home in a few days. Keep smiling and we will go get more "vanilla" icecream soon!
Love ya!
