Back to the grind

Sierra really didn't get much of a break the past 2 weeks. We managed to squeeze in a few days of fun, and she has been feeling pretty good for the past week, but now it is time to head back for more chemo. At this point, until we hear back about the tumor pathology, we will just continue on the regular course. So we go in today for her 8th round of chemo, 5th dose of methotrexate. She will be going in for chemo for the next 3 weeks. In the past she has handled this chemo fairly well, and hasn't ended up having to deal with much nausea, so we are praying that remains the case. We are also praying that she clears the methotrexate quickly so we can get back home to prepare for our friends coming into town. My best friend will fly in next week with her 3 kiddos to hang out with us and Sierra is so excited to spend some big girl time with her oldest, Natalie, who is also 8. Thank you so much, to everyone who has been praying for us and for Sierra. Thank you to all of those who sent cards or gifts to Sierra over the past few weeks and months, they really brighten her spirit and help distract her from the difficult things she is going through. All of the support from our friends and family really help us get through each day.
