Quiet

It's been really quiet over here lately. Since Ave was neutropenic there wasn't much to post about being inside all day everyday. We went in for Avery's 8th chemo treatment last Friday and her ANC is back up to 2400. HUGE improvement from last appointment and we were so happy. We spoke with the doctors and Ave will most likely be in maintenance for the rest of the year. Going in every three weeks for chemo and then is on really high doses of steroids for the next five days. This time around I didn't notice Avery's appetite change until the last day she was on steroids but did notice her irritability and insomnia. We have been up late quite a few nights and up super early. It makes it hard on both of us because I am one of those people who needs at least eight hours of sleep a night or I get super cranky. :) 


This week we celebrated Avery's ANC going up by taking her out to lunch and went to a dinosaur museum. I think Ave was a little disappointed that it was nothing but bones lol. There were a lot of good things for little kids to do but it was a Saturday and super busy so I was a little worried about her getting sick.



Since then we have been just enjoying the sunshine and the good weather.




We actually got to go to church for the first time in a while.


Ave's hair has been falling out really unevenly so she has a big bald spot in the back but still has enough to wake up with this :)
