Weekly Wednesday Update

Posted by Aunt Stacey

ViviAnne had another bone marrow test and Chemo treatment today. Everything went really well. Her ANC count is up to 7000!

Also, she took her last dose of steroids last night. She will still have to take them from time to time in the course of her 2.5 years of treatment, but never as intensely as she has had to this last month. The side effects may take a few days or even a couple weeks to completely fade away. That is okay though, at least we can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel now that that phase is over.

We are all ecstatic to start seeing signs of the "real" ViviAnne come back! 

Thanks to everyone who continues to donate. Brent and Kristen are absolutely blown away by everyone's generosity. Please know that you are truly making a difference in their lives.

A special thanks to ViviAnne's cousin Kassie who has been tirelessly setting up fundraisers, gathering up support, designing T-shirts, raising money, and keeping everyone else encouraged to do the same.
