We would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. God is truly answering all of our prayers. It means more than you could imagine for all of the heart felt kindness of others to be concerned for our precious Mia. Today is October 23, 2008. For the last three weeks Mia's ANC has gone from 3300 one week, 750 the second week and this week it was 190. With her ANC being so low (190) has made us all very worried. The doctor recommends her not being in large crowds, this has us very sad & worried. This weekend was going to be a special one for Mia because her Great Aunt Star bought the family tickets to "Elmo Live". Mia will not be able to attend because of the risk of her getting sick. Thank you so much Aunt Star for your love and generosity. We love you! Krystal is very worried about Mia right now because of all of the people that have been getting sick. Think about it, I bet you know someone who is sick right now, I know I do. How do you prevent someone from being in contact with anyone else? Hopefully, Mia will not get sick and her blood count will rise. Mia has been doing very good, she is back to her motor mouth self. She is also very cautious about alot of things that she wasn't before. She knows not to drink or eat after anyone & she needs to brush her teeth & use her mouthwash & take her medicine everyday. Mia is going through some strong chemo right now. Her hair is thinning out alot. It will break your heart the strength and courage that she has. If you say something about her losing her hair (to try and prepare her for it) she will say "that's okay it will grow back". It bring tears to my eyes just writing this. She plays with her brother Mason and every chance he gets, he grabs her hair. They love each other sooo much!
