My Story

We created this site to keep you, our friends and family updated on Sydney's condition and progress during her fight with Leukemia.

We will update the journal periodically, so be sure to visit often, view the photo gallery, and drop us a line in our guestbook.

Wow, today marks week 101 of treatment, only 29 to go, not that we are counting!  UGH!!  We had a very long day in clinic today.  It was incredibly busy and today was the day she gets her monthly antibiotic and exam so we did all that and I entertained not one, but two children (Hunter is out of school) in a tiny exam room.  Yeah for me!!  And, just when we started to leave, Sydney started feeling sick to her stomach and crying so we gave her some more medicine and she fell asleep.  We finally got home around 4:30.  She never did get sick and is asleep now so I think she is okay.  The good news is her counts were good and she is feeling good.  In fact, she grabbed Dr. Sacciente's arm today when she was asking me questions about how she was doing and Sydney said "Fine!".  I guess that answered all her questions.  We are so excited Sydney seems to be getting more energy back and are ready to kick off summer.  Hunter graduated from kindergarten and Sydney was so excited to go watch him at his graduation and the best part... the lemonade and cookies, of course!  She will finish up her homebound school this week and she has made such great progress, thanks "Benton"!  Once again, thanks for all the prayers and continue to pray for high counts and for the next 29 weeks to be smooth sailing!    We love you all!
