My Story

I'm Abby. I am 11 yrs. old. I have a rare form of pediatric lung cancer. But cancer is not who I am. I am a brave and strong girl. God has given me the BEST family & and friends. I love to play with my little brother, Ian. He is 3 years old. He makes me laugh & and forget that I have sick lungs. I get scared sometimes. But I know that I have to trust God no matter what.

We went up earlier than planned today because Abby had to have labs drawn for her liver enzymes test. They attempted to get some blood last Monday at camp but couldn't get any out of her vein and Stephanie ( her nurse) just didn't see the need to access her port while she was at camp having fun. Anyway her levels came back fine... a little elevated but still within normal range.PRAISE GOD!!!! We upped her dosage and she immediately felt the effects. Red, swollen flushed face and she fell asleep rather quickly while the chemo was being infused.  Prior to chemo she always receives Kytril to help ward off any nausea. It normally works and stays in her system for 12 hours but on the way home nausea hit her big time and she had to have another dose when we got home. No appetite but she is drinking alot of water. She went to bed early tonight to hopefully sleep off the effects. We have to watch her extremely close for any sign of fever or out the ordinary or exaggerated side effects. Dr. Rapkin wants to be called immediately if we suspect anything... kinda makes the whole " bubble wrap" idea look really good right about now.....

Praying for Abby's miracle,
Tina
