It feels so good!

It is so good to know that we have such gret family, friends, and church family!!!!!  It is just nice to know that so many people are praying for us and our sweet Miss. Norah.  It is nice knowing that so many people want to do something/anything to help us out.  You'll never know how much we appreciate it all...from the keeping of the other 3 kids, the sunday school teaching so my mother in law can come up and visit this morning, the tulle buying, the food bringing, to just praying, and the visits!!!  It is just SO NICE!!!!  Thank you all, you know who you are!

Today was a pretty good day for our princess.  She now only needs blood work done once a day!  That is extra nice.  The poor girl is going to have a huge bruise on the inside of her right arm.  Her blood work is showing improvement.  Her kidney function is the same (I'll take it), her platelets are up to 71,000, and she does NOT need a blood transfusion.  She is eating a bit better, but still not good.  She nibbles on all kinds of things, but won't eat a good amount of anything.  She is definitely drinking more today though. 

My mom & Terry brought the other three up to visit today.  It was good, despite being here, to be a family.  I think Norah enjoyed it too.  She seemed to perk up watching them play.  They all enjoyed seeing her as well.  They miss "normal."  They voices it many times.  It warmed my heart, yet made me sad for them.  I'm hoping we can be home by Wednesday, but it just all depends on her eating, drinking, and urinating.  Come on Norah, let's do this!!

Keep praying, and I'll keep you posted!

It's great to hear that Norah's platlets are up and her big brothers and sis got to spend some time with her. That is going help her get better faster-the power of the siblings! We are all praying for her and even Amya asks if we can check the blog and see if Norah's all better yet! I will miss you Monday-hope she eats and pees and gets home soon to her own bed! Keep up the good spirits! Lisa A.
