Danielle’s numbers (White blood cell, ANC and hemoglobin) are all slowly starting to climb, which is promising. They have her on a very heavy antibiotic and anti-fungal medication and she feels very sick and hasn’t eaten in quite some time. She drank two Slurpee’s yesterday though (she ended up losing them after the second, it was just a bit much) and ate two grapes for Grandma Sandi this weekend, so when I say she isn’t eating – I mean, she isn’t eating much, but sometimes will sample “food” again to decide it just isn’t for her.
She sleeps a lot, she looks very pale and has circles around her eyes, but every once in awhile she perks up like the old days and makes goofy faces, gets out of bed for a few minutes and sits up. She wears out easily though and finds her way back to bed quite quickly.
Keep on praying for her to get better and come home, we really need to our baby girl home with us.

I am so sorry. Tell her I am praying for her and all of you. She is such a sweet girl. It is hard to see her so sick. I know she will be ok, she just needs to try and fight. Give her a hug from me.

Boy, don’t even know what to say. Overwhelming. The bigger room suggestion doesn’t sound good either. So sorry and sad. We MUST ALL PUT ON a good face for her and try not to let her get further down. Difficult under the circumstances. Thank you for updates. I know they are difficult to write. Hugs and love, Aunt Cindy
