Haylie update - Oct 29
We have had a whole week off of going
to the hospital for chemo and it has been so good! Haylie has had more
energy than before and felt so much better too. We were able to do a lot
in the last few days. Friday she made it to the Bulldog Blitz at
Brennen’s school and it was so wonderful to see her old teachers and
school staff. I have so many pictures, I’ll have to post them tomorrow.
Saturday we made it to church for the 2nd week in a row! Hallelujah!
Sunday was a very long day at Brennen’s baseball tournament, but it was
a fun day. This was the first baseball game Haylie has been to since
her diagnosis. It was a super early morning for us since we had an 8am
game in Rockwall, which is an hour away. It was so awesome to get to see
so many of our wonderful friends we have missed so much. I wish I had
gotten a picture with more of y’all.
It worked out for us to run
to our old church and see many of our old church friends. We are so
thankful for so many of them who have prayed for us, encouraged us, and
sent care packages to us while in the hospital. Getting to see friends
and hug them made my heart full.
Haylie and Brennen were
thrilled to also get to see old friends. The tournament didn’t go as
planned, but it worked out for us to get to visit with sweet friends, so
all was not lost. It made it even better when we found out the
championship game started after 9pm.
😳 No thank you on a school night that we had been up since 5:45am.
Today has been a big day for Haylie. She decided it was time to shave
her head. She had a few strands of hair that didn’t fall out, and her
hair has started growing back and it was all different lengths so she
had me cut it so it would all be the same. I have to say, even though
there wasn’t much hair to cut, it was still hard to take the clippers
and shave my daughters head. It’s just one of those things I never
thought I would have to do. She was such a champ and it didn’t seem to
bother her much at all. I really am inspired by her resilience.
Today we also moved her bed back to her room and she will sleep in her
own bed, in her own room for the first time in 5 months. It’s hard to
believe it has been that long. A month in the hospital and 4 months on
her mattress on our floor. She was a little reluctant to go, but I
think it is best for all of us.
Tomorrow we head back to the
hospital to start another round of chemo. Agh. I just want her to still
feel good for her birthday this week. We still appreciate everyone’s
prayers. God is so good and continues to go before us and fight this
battle.
