Short Update...

Good evening Friends!

Tonight will have to be a short update. I am a little emotional about heading home. I am ready to see my family but so so heart sick about leaving here. On a good note...today was a wonderful day. Aj felt so good today! She was herself and even after her morning nap felt like going to the hat/scarf party her friends and church family gave her. What a sweet sweet group of ladies from her church that put on a wonderful time together. It was really a blessing to all of us. I have pictures I will get uploaded tomorrow. 

Today while I was helping AJ blow dry her hair, clumps of it started coming out...after we both had a small melt down it was time to leave...she made the decision to have it all shaved off once we got back from the party.  I had selfish mixed emotions...I like my world where all this isn't really happening and when she decided to go ahead and do this I felt sick at my stomach. But, God came and joined us in all this and it was a good thing. She looks just beautiful! And no more of that sick feeling when she washes her hair or such. Thanks to her Mother In Law Glenda for coming and doing it. Glenda was one of the first people we met when we move to Deer Park back in the 90's as she did all of our hair. Thank you to Morgan, Pitman and crew for the wonder day you planned. Thank you Mom for bring some laughter to the hair shaving...as you came in with a long black wig! Thank you Aj for allowing me to be here to stand by your side through this whole weekend. We have been down some really fun roads, some bumpy roads and some just flat hard not fun roads. But, I always knew I could look up and see you cheering me on, supporting or just helping...no matter if it was moving to a new place, starting a new school, or being faced with a very unfair situation... Now it is my turn to do the same. And for that I am grateful! 

Prayer Needs

• Meds. She is still having some issues with her meds. Pray they can work with the doctor this week to get this worked out and better. 
• That her white count is where it needs to be. 
• Continue to feel better, get stronger and keep resting well. 
• As she adjust to her new look of no hair! I love it!! 

Thank you as always for praying. I will have pictures and such tomorrow!
