Still Here

   Our little Hazelnut is still at the hospital.  Her counts dropped again over the weekend and had to get another blood transfusion and also ended up needing a platelet transfusion.  We thought her white blood counts would have come up on there own by the end of this week, but as of this morning they still haven't budged!  Which means we are still at the hospital and she still has to receive shots everyday to help her counts recover.  In addition, we were supposed to start Round 5 of chemo this coming Monday, and her surgery was scheduled for August 1st, but all of that will be pushed back now.  As soon as her counts recover, we will begin to figure out what her new schedule will be, but until then, we wait.  She was supposed to get a CT scan before surgery to see how much the tumor has shrunk, but that has to wait now too.  I am most disappointed about this being pushed back because right now I have no idea how big or how small that tumor inside my little Hazelnut's body is and was ready to find out!  Now we have to wait! Although disappointing, this gives all of us more time to pray for that tumor to shrink and for patience.
    
    Despite having low counts, Hazel feels great and has tons of energy, so keep those prayers coming!  Also, we started a Facebook page for Hazel.  Please go to Hope For Hazel and like her page, and share it so we can get as many people praying and supporting her as we can!
