I wrote a post two days ago counting Sunday, December 14th as “Day 14″ because Lily’s leukemia was diagnosed around midnight on December 1st. However, the doctors started the count when she began treatment. She had her first chemo on Wednesday, December 3rd. So Wednesday, December 10th was day 7, and tomorrow, Wednesday, December 17th will be day 14. I’ll switch my count to their count system so I won’t stay confused!

If all goes well tomorrow and Lily’s “numbers” on the blood marrow tests are good, she will come home. It will be SO wonderful for that child to be home again. She’s been so homesick. And her little sister has missed her tremendously. Their world has been turned upside down since Thanksgiving, and it will be good for them to start getting to their “new normal” as a family.

As much as I dearly love them all, I will probably stay away for the most part the next few days - just coming by briefly to bring meals and groceries. Despite all the bad stuff, we are blessed.
