Doing Well

     Just a quick update: Hazel is doing really well!  She is eating and is off the anti-nausea meds, so we are very excited!  So far, she has not gotten a fever to send us back to the hospital, so please pray that it stays that way!  She will be getting some blood work done today to see where her counts are at and whether or not she will need a transfusion.  If her counts are good and she does not spike a fever, we get to stay home until the next round of Chemo, which should begin on June 25th or 26th!  I am so thankful that our little Hazelnut is powering through this leg of her journey and I can only continue to hope and pray that she continues to do so!
     In other news, Micah, Elizabeth and Jonah are extremely happy to have us home and we have been able to spend so much time together!  I took Micah and Elizabeth out to go bowling and  got some much needed one on one time with them.  Jonah is almost crawling, and is one of the happiest babies I have ever seen!  It's so good to know, that even though I am not around as much, he still feels loved and taken care of (which I have an amazing husband and a family support system to thank for that!).  Micah also just had his last day of 1st grade yesterday and Aaron begins his 1-month hiatus on Friday!  It will be so wonderful to have a small bit of time that is less hectic and will allow for some serious quality family time!  In August, Micah will start 2nd grade(!) and Elizabeth will begin Preschool! Please pray that we can all adjust to that new schedule, that the teachers will all be understanding and supportive, and that Aaron & I can be a part of as much as we can.
