Andy brought her to Children's Hospital this past Thursday for her monthly check up and I'm excited to tell y'all that her red blood cell counts are finally starting to increase. Her H&H was 10&32.... which is much better than a ruffly 8&29 where she has been sitting for 6 months. I've noticed that the last couple of weeks she has had more of an appeitite and also has had a lot more energy. Amazing what a few more red blood cells carrying oxygen can do! :) She became somewhat of an introvert through all of this and it's nice to see her coming out of her shell again and being more social. Her doctor also said that her port will be removed soon. I'm guessing when we go next month they will schedule the surgery. One step closer to her having a normal life.....
I know that Brynn will grow up and most likely not remember very much of this... if any at all. Everyday she is going to wake up and see a huge scar that covers half of her belly, another one where her port is... and one on her neck. I hope she doesn't hate them. I hope she embraces them.... they show just how strong she is... how she is a survivor!! She is such an inspiration to me. And I'm sure she is to most other people too. We are so lucky to have a daughter like her!!!
As for me, I still have a bad day every once in awhile. I'm still getting over the shock of having to go through a parents worst nightmare. Sometimes I cry because I know what will happen if something does go wrong with that one kidney... or what if somehow the cancer comes back ect. I just have to take a deep breath and leave it in God's hands. All of this has made me realize whats important in life. I hug and kiss her everyday and make sure she knows how much I love her and how important she is to me!!!
I have to best husband and daughter EVER!!!
