I am so sorry to leave everyone hanging. Things have been crazy-busy, but Serenity has been ok. We ended up moving suddenly & I got consumed with packing & house hunting & forgot to update the blog.
Last week we had a clinic visit & things were uneventful. She had a lumbar puncture & received her IV Vincristine. Her ANC was only 700 (they like it to be at least 1000), but she has not been sick. She will have another blood draw this week to check her numbers.
She is finishing up her monthly 5 day pulse of dexamethasone, but it hasn’t been too bad having her on steroids. She has grown a inch since last month but her weight is still the same.
She’s particularly adorable these days so I will try and get some photos up.
Praise the Good Lord! I’m so glad to hear from you! Don’t ever do that to us again :). Thinking of and praying for you all daily 🙂
I’m glad she’s doing well!
adria, been thinking about you a lot lately- hope all is going well and still wishing we lived closer.
One thing I know for sure….little girls named Serenity are born with a God given fight! Our little Serenity Rose is two years old. We fought a different battle. She was diagnosed with Restrictive Cardiomyopathy, a physical hardening of the heart muscle. This condition was only suppose to progress. We were told our only hope was a heart transplant and our daughter (if she survived) would spend the rest of her life on medication. But, Praise the Lord, we have a Higher Hope! We stood on the promises of God, quoted healing scriptures over her around the clock. God’s Word is life and health to all our flesh. (Proverbs 4:22). God remained faithful. He miraclously healed her of the disease. Two years later, she is transplant free, medication free and mommy is energy free from chasing her! 🙂
Yes indeed, Serenitys are little miracles of God! If you are interested in the scriptures we quoted over our daughter you can find most of them on “our faith” page on our website and you can also contact me for some more.
In the meantime, we will be praying for your beautiful little Serenity!
God Bless,
Dana Burk
